    The algorithm outlines the diagnostic and treatment process for acute otitis media (AOM). It involves taking a history and physical exam to determine the probability of AOM. For high probability cases, antibiotics are the first line treatment, while observation is recommended for low probability. If symptoms do not improve, subsequent treatment involves myringotomy, second line antibiotics, or referral to an ENT specialist. Recurrent or persistent cases may require prophylactic antibiotics or surgical procedures like myringotomy or adenoidectomy.
