EAR INFECTIONS? DON'T GIVE KIDS ANTIBIOTICS


In Prevention magazine it was reported that 70 to 90% of children's ear infections will naturally clear if given time. In this study they had 179 kids ages 1 to 12. The researchers found that 2 out of every 3 infections cleared without antibiotics. Their suggestion is to first get ear drops that bring immediate pain relief and then wait 48 hours before starting antibiotics.
