### Patient: Doctor, I've been experiencing severe ear pain and hearing loss for the past few days. I also have high fever and a feeling of pressure in my ear. What could be wrong with me?
### Doctor: Based on your symptoms, it seems that you might be suffering from otitis media. In order to confirm the diagnosis and determine the appropriate treatment, we will need to perform other diagnostic procedures such as an interview and evaluation, ophthalmologic and otologic diagnosis and treatment, and diagnostic procedures on the ear. We may also need to conduct an influenzavirus antibody assay, nebulizer therapy, and other therapeutic ear procedures. In some cases, a tonsillectomy and/or adenoidectomy may also be required.
