--responding to @needs native check--
another medical term that sounds strange anywhere outside a medical text. If this sentence is kept I suggest otitus media is placed in quotes or italicised as a latin medical term.
For sure most folks would say "ear infection"; but physicians' English is still English. Standard English italicizes foreign words and phrases and their abbreviations (although the practice of italicizing "i.e." and "e.g." seems to be fading), but not, I think, terms of art.
In the long run, unusual contributions should reveal themselves as unusual. Every alternative to leaving them alone is probably a can of worms.
Contributors themselves making changes in response to comments is fine.
Certainly this sentence fits the model of "I had appendicitis last year."
OK.
