Read the following Ear Consult:
Johnny Masur is a 4-year-old boy referred to my clinic for evaluation of chronic otitis media. He began with a 1-week history of nasal congestion, runny nose, and cough. He has had a low-grade temperature up to 100.2. He went to his PCP last week for otopyorrhea on the left side and otalgia on the right side. He was diagnosed with bilateral acute otitis media and treated with oral antibiotics. He has failed three separate courses of oral antibiotics.
PMHx
Johnny's history is significant for tympanostomy tubes placed bilaterally when he was 2 years old. One tube left a persistent perforation in the tympanic membrane, so he had tympanoplasty at 3 years of age. He has not had any episodes of otitis media in the past 2 years.

a) Johnny had tympanoplasty at the age of 2.
b) Johnny had tympanostomy tubes placed bilaterally at the age of 3.
c) Johnny has not had any episodes of otitis media in the past 2 years.
