Acute Otis Media/Inner Ear Infections In ChildrenAcute
Otis Media, fluids coming out of the ear usually accompanied by
a fever and pain, otherwise knows as a middle ear infection, is a
common
ailment suffered by children. This tends to frighten parents
because it comes on so suddenly and often at night. The Medical ApproachThe most common treatment
for ear infection, in the medical field, is prescribed antibiotics
such as penicillin;
oral decongestants; tubes in the ears and myringotomy (surgery on
the eardrum). No matter which of these medical treatments are
used, studies show that the recovery time is about the same, even
when no treatment is given at all. Antibiotics administered,
according to a study performed, are not necessary in 88% of ear
infection cases. Antibiotics
increased the risk of recurrence and did not significantly shorten
the length of infection. Studies also show that oral decongestants
are ineffective in the prevention or treatment of ear infection. 1.2 million procedures
to implant tubes in the ears of children are performed in the United
States every year. The
late Dr. Robert Mendelsohn, M.D., one of America’s leading pediatricians,
believed that implantation of tubes did little for the patients,
however it keeps the ear, nose and throat specialists in business. A European study that observed
children with bilateral ear infections noted that when a tube was
implanted in one ear and
not the other, the results for both ears were about the same. It
also noted that the tubes caused complications such as scarring and
permanent perforation. The Chiropractic ApproachChiropractic is not a treatment for ear infections, but is one of the best things that can happen to a child with ear infection. Chiropractic adjustments do much more than just straighten the spine; it releases pressure on the nerve system, vertebral subluxations, to restore a more normal and free flow of energy to the body. The release of this stress helps the body function better and heal better, naturally. This treatment, in turn, brings about a healthier spine and a body that is less likely to be susceptible to disease.
