E. High-dose oral amoxicillin is the appropriate therapy.
Explanation:
The pathology described is a case of Acute Otitis Media(AOM).
AOM is a common childhood disorder caused mainly by bacterial organisms.
The treatment of AOM is as follows:
1. “Watchful waiting” period of a few days may be indicated since many AOM cases self-resolve.
2. Should antibiotics be deemed necessary and depending on a community’s bacterial resistance patterns, amoxicillin at doses up to 80 to 90 mg/kg/d for 7 to 10 days is often the initial treatment. If clinical failure is noted after 3 treatment days, a change to amoxicillin-clavulanate, cefuroxime axetil, azithromycin, cefixime, ceftriaxone, or tympanocentesis is considered.
