- The patients must provide Institutional Review Board (IRB) approved written assent, as appropriate, which must be accompanied by an IRB approved written informed consent form (ICF) from the patient's legally acceptable representative (i.e., parent or guardian), as applicable. In addition, all patients or their legally acceptable representatives (i.e., parent or guardian) must sign a Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) authorization, if applicable

- Patients must be normally active and otherwise judged to be in good health on the basis of the medical history and a limited physical examination, as determined by the Investigator.

- Females of child bearing potential must have a negative urine human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) pregnancy test at Visit 1

Exclusion Criteria:

- Patients with bilateral AOM, perforated tympanic membrane, history of a perforated tympanic membrane in the last 6 months, or if a perforated tympanic membrane could not be ruled out by speculum examination, impedance testing tympanometry, pneumatic otoscopy, or a Valsalva maneuver

- Patients who are subsequently diagnosed with a perforated membrane during treatment are to be discontinued immediately.

- Patients with indwelling tympanostomy tubes or draining otitis in the affected ear(s), bullous lesions, erythema of the tympanic membrane without other evidence of AOM, and patients with an anatomic defect of the ear or nasopharynx

- Complications of treated/untreated ear disease over the past 2 weeks

- Patients with comorbidity requiring antibiotic therapy, allergy to study medication, immunologic deficiency, and major medical condition(s).

- Patients with methemoglobinemia or a history of methemoglobinemia, vertigo, inherited enzyme deficiencies, impaired cardiac or respiratory functions, epilepsy, heart diseases, hypersensitivity, pyrogenic infection at or near the skin, inflamed or infected skin, dermatitis, shock, hepatic impairment, or myasthenia gravis

- Acute or chronic otitis externa

- Chronic otitis media (current episode = 2 weeks)

- Patients who smoke are prohibited from participating in this study.

- Seborrheic dermatitis involving the affected external ear canal or pinna

- Any topical or systemic antibiotic received within the 14 days prior to study entry (topical antibiotics for acne will be allowed)

- Any topical drying agent or over-the-counter (OTC) therapy for otitis media received within 36 hours prior to enrollment

- Fever >102°F

- Known hypersensitivity to the study drug or similar compounds including any of the inactive ingredients

- Patients receiving medication on a chronic basis for pain (including steroidal or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs)

- Use of ear drops or oral analgesics such as ibuprofen/acetaminophen within the 4 hours prior to study entry

- Use of sulfonamides, aminosalicylates, anti- cholinesterases, suxamethonium, antiarrhythmics, monoamine oxidase inhibitors, or tricyclic antidepressants

- Clinically significant mental illness (as determined by the Investigator)

- Exposure to any investigational agent within the 30 days prior to study entry

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Summed Pain Intensity Difference 60 minutes No
Secondary Pain Intensity Difference Up to 120 minutes No
Secondary Comparison of pain scores from AOM-SOS and FLACC pain measurement scales in patients 2 months to 4 years old Up to 3 days No
Secondary Comparison of pain scores from VAS and FPS-R pain measurement scales in patients 5 years to 12 years old Up to 3 days No
Secondary Physician Global Evaluation Up to 3 days No
Secondary Evaluate dosing intervals with pain measurements assessed up to 120 minutes Up to 120 minutes No
Secondary Report the onset of perceptible and meaningful pain relief using patient reports and stopwatch assessments Patients will be given 2 stopwatches at the start of the study and instructed to stop one when they experience perceptible ('some') pain relief after the administration of the first dose (any change in pain intensity) and stop the other when they experience meaningful pain relief (a 'definite decrease in pain that makes them feel better') Up to 120 minutes No
