Question of the Week: Four weeks after successful initial treatment of unilateral otitis media in a 2-year-old white male enrolled in a local day-care center, you reevaluate the child. He is asymptomatic, but you detect a middle ear effusion in the affected ear. The tympanic membrane is otherwise normal. The best management at this time would be: A - inflation of the eustachian tube by the Valsalva maneuver B - an antihistamine daily for 30 days C - low-dose corticosteroids for 30 days D - referral to an ENT specialist E - no further treatment, with reevaluation in 2 months
