Yes, for est. pt you need to meet 2 out of 3 (hx, pe, mdm).
Even though the PE is not documented, but there is a CC, the hx level is PF (brief HPI, no ROS, no PFSH). The MDM is SF, because of 1 self-limited problem with Rx drug management.
Even if you want to consider the "otitis media" as a new problem, still, the LOS would be 99212, because your hx level is SF and there is no PE.
Hope this will help
