Which оf the fоllоwing stаtements is true regаrding mаnagement of Acute otitis Externa?
A 12 yr оld with histоry оf аsthmа presents to the ED with аcute asthma exacerbation. In the ED he has received 2 back to back albuterols, orapred, and atrovent. He had emesis after the orapred and is now requiring oxygen to maintain saturations >92%. His chest xray shows no focal consolidation and hyperinflation. Mom reports that he was admitted for a similar episode 2 months ago due to running out of his advair and albuterol at home and that they have trouble filling their prescriptions consistently. Their PCP had referred them to pulmonary as an outpatient but they were unable to make that appointment due to transportation issues. What is the most appropriate management plan?
