A child cries in the middle of the night because of intense ear pain. The probable cause is infection of the middle ear, called acute otitis media (OM). This pain is usually accompanied by fever and fluid coming out of the ear. The suddenness of these symptoms often frightens parents. Usually the treatment given for OM in children is antibiotics, tubes in the ears and surgery. All of these approaches are questionable. As far back as 1981, the medical research journal The Lancet, published a study comparing these various treatments with doing nothing at all. According to the authors, "There were no significant differences (in) pain, temperature, duration of discharge, otoscopic appearances or audiography." In other words, recovery time was about the same for all of the children whether medical treatments were done or nothing at all. Research shows that children may get car infections as a result of improper drainage of the deep neck lymphatics. This causes fluid buildup, an inflamed and bulging eardrum, and a welcome habitat for bacteria. The preferred medical treatment today is a prescription of oral antibiotics, most commonly Amoxicillan. However, a study in the tournai of the American Medical Association concluded that children who took Amoxicillan for ear infections were two to six times more likely to have a recurrence of their ear problem than those who received a placebo pill. The lead author said, "children are being abused by the antibiotic treatment in this country." Drug-resistant strains of childhood ear infections are rapidly increasing. Health officials say the trend is closely linked to doctors' misuse of broad spectrum antibiotics and patients' mistaken belief that antibiotics are a "magic bullet" for all that ails them. Another study in the Archives of Otolarvnpolopv showed that "88% of patients with acute OM never need antibiotics ... in those treated with antibiotics, risk of recurrence is high." Alexander Tomasz, a Rockefeller University microbiology professor reported that "There's a vast overuse of antibiotics. It's completely crazy", in a 1994 issue of the New Enpland journal of Medicine. Chiropractic care is one of the best things you can give a child suffering from an ear infection. Chiropractic is not a treatment for ear infections, yet doctors of chiropractic have noticed chiropractics 1 profound effect on ears and hearing. Chiropractors specialize in restoring normal function to the spine and nervous system that may reduce or eliminate the tense neck musculature that is responsible for preventing normal fluid drainage. It is essential that anyone with an ear infection consider a chiropractic spinal check-up. Keeping your child's spine and nervous system healthy and free from interference will help your child's natural defenses against disease. This will help you avoid drugs with all their side effects. Give your child the great advantage of this safer, more natural form of health care.
