Four weeks after successful initial treatment of a unilateral otitis media in a 2-year-old white male enrolled in a local day-care center, you reevaluate the child. He is asymptomatic, but you detect a middle ear effusion and a mild hearing loss in the affected ear. The tympanic membrane has no serious secondary changes. The best treatment at this time would be inflation of the eustachian tube by the Valsalva maneuver or the method of Politzer an antihistamine daily for 30 days low-dose corticosteroids for 30 days referral to an ENT specialist no further treatment, with reevaluation in 30 days

successful treatment, asymptomatic= no treatment I learn a hard way but this is the key to ALL the examinations from neurosurgery to ped. If an asymptomatic man with 4.5 cm AAA, no tx, watchful waiting If a pt with aortic stenosis asymptomatic, no tx !!!!!!!!!!!
