Do you make repeated trips to the doctor with your child for another round of antibiotics for recurring ear infections? If so, you’re not alone.
Two-thirds of all children will have had at least one ear infection before the age of 3. Almost half of these children will have had repeated bouts. *
The Journal of the American Medical Association concluded that children who took antibiotics for ear infections were 2 – 6 times more likely to have recurrent infections than those receiving sugar pills! Health officials agree that drug-resistant strains of infection are on the rise due to misuse of antibiotics.
Progressive parents are turning more and more to chiropractic care to resolve childhood ear infections. Why? Because it works effectively and safely. A study of 332 children with recurring ear infections found that after 6 months of chiropractic care, 80% had no more infections. **
Chiropractic adjustment allows for normal drainage of the ear and, also, stimulates the immune system. Normal drainage of the ear prohibits the necessary environment for infection to occur, or, recur.
Chiropractic wellness care is the most effective way for children with ear infections to StayBetter.
