DX: Persistent ear congestion

How would you code this?

The best I could come up with is 388.8, other disorders of ear, which is very vague. I was wondering if anyone could point me to something more specific?


Thanks in advance!
 
That's what I would use. If the documentation supports it, maybe 388.60 but if all you have is congestion then I'm with you. After all, ICD for nasal congestion is 478.19 - Other diseases of nasal cavity and sinuses.
