Ear infections are seen most often in children 6 to 36 months of age. What’s so frustrating is up to a third of these children will have six or more episodes before starting school. Some children can have up to twelve episodes in one year. Ear infections are not only stressful for the child but also for the parents, due to worry and loss of sleep.
Did you know?
Each year in the United States, approximately 30% of children under the age of three receive antibiotics as a treatment for acute earaches. Treating earaches actually is the most common reason for outpatient use of antibiotics. Scientific studies have shown little evidence of shorter duration of symptoms, fewer recurrences or better long term out-comes. Researchers have actually found that giving so many children so much antibiotic medication poses a serious risk to the children and their community. It promotes the emergence of strains of microbes that are resistant to the very antibiotics that are being used.
Can Chiropractic Help?
A chiropractic treatment plan of gentle adjustments, offers hope for comforting relief without recourse to heavy use of antibiotics or surgery for the placement of tubes. The chiropractic approach is an alternative to traditional medical treatments that may be less effective and involve serious side effects.
Isn’t it time you try a more natural approach? If you answered yes, call me.
