Keep Antibiotic Use Down In Children With Ear Inflections

In guidelines published by the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Academy of Family Physicians it was reported that each course of antibiotics given to a child can make future treatments for ear infections more difficult to treat. In addition, the benefits of taking antibiotics for ear inflections called acute otitis media (AOM) is small and must be balanced against the potential harm of the therapy. About 15% of children who take antibiotics suffer from diarrhea or vomiting and up to 5% have allergic reactions, which can be serious or life threatening. To get rid of the pain you can get a device called Eardoc that provides almost immediate relief. The Eardoc generates vibrations which are transmitted into the ear and reduces pressure which allows trapped fluids to drain. Look for it on Amazon.
