Revision as of 16:20, 25 January 2021

Overview

Based on the pain originates,differential diagnosis can be divided into primary and secondary categories.The causes of the Primary otalgia include,infectious,mechanical,neoplastic and inflammatory.Secondary otalgia originates other organ system. Most of the secondary causes related to head and neck.

-==Differentiating [Disease name] from other Diseases==
+==Differentiating Otalgia from other Diseases==
-[Disease name] must be differentiated from other diseases that cause [clinical feature 1], [clinical feature 2], and [clinical feature 3], such as [differential dx1], [differential dx2], and [differential dx3].
-OR
-[Disease name] must be differentiated from [differential dx1], [differential dx2], and [differential dx3].
+===Differentiating otalgia from other diseases on the basis of primary and secondary causes===
-OR
-As [disease name] manifests in a variety of clinical forms, differentiation must be established in accordance with the particular subtype. [Subtype name 1] must be differentiated from other diseases that cause [clinical feature 1], such as [differential dx1] and [differential dx2]. In contrast, [subtype name 2] must be differentiated from other diseases that cause [clinical feature 2], such as [differential dx3] and [differential dx4].
-===Differentiating [disease name] from other diseases on the basis of [symptom 1], [symptom 2], and [symptom 3]===
-On the basis [symptom 1], [symptom 2], and [symptom 3], [disease name] must be differentiated from [disease 1], [disease 2], [disease 3], [disease 4], [disease 5], and [disease 6].
