Sample ENT Questions
A child with an upper respiratory infection and ear pain has tympanic membrane hyperemia with a positive insufflation test, and has failed 2 prior drug trials. What is the best next treatment?
- A.Steroid alone (does not address the underlying bacterial infection)
- B.Ciprofloxacin (not the standard oral choice for pediatric acute otitis media)
- C.Azithromycin (a reasonable alternative, but Augmentin is emphasized as the appropriate second-line choice here)
- D.Augmentin
What is the appropriate management of mild epistaxis in a child?
- A.Compression on the nose while leaning backward (leaning backward risks aspiration of blood, not the recommended technique)
- B.Placing the patient on their side (not the standard first-line technique)
- C.Placement of a nasal tampon (reserved for more significant or refractory bleeding)
- D.Compression on the nose while leaning forward
A patient has vertigo following a recent upper respiratory infection. What is the diagnosis?
- A.Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (typically triggered by positional changes, not directly linked to a preceding URI)
- B.Schwannoma (a chronic, progressive tumor, not an acute post-viral presentation)
- C.Cholesteatoma (does not classically present with vertigo following a viral URI)
- D.Vestibular neuritis
