On physical examination, she is well appearing and afebrile. She has exquisite pain on movement of her right pinna and dried drainage visible at the opening of her external auditory canal (EAC). Her EAC is erythematous and mildly edematous, but the tympanic membrane is visualized and appears normal. She also has psoriatic lesions around her ear and scalp as currently her psoriasis is not under control (Figure 21-1). The pediatrician makes the diagnosis of otitis externa and prescribes once daily ofloxacin drops for 7 days. The girl has a prompt response and recovers completely.
