Abstract
Serous or suppurative middle ear effusion in children 2 years of age or older is common and is relatively easy to diagnose and treat. However, assessing and managing apparent ear infection in younger children--particularly infants--are more difficult tasks, and in many of these young patients the middle ear is found to be normal.
