To many parents of young children, coping with ear infections may seem almost as routine as changing wet diapers. Many children - somewhere between 50 percent and 85 percent, depending on the study - have at least one ear infection by age 3. There are numerous problems with antibiotic usage for children with ear infections such as allergic reactions, GI upset, antibiotic resistance and destruction of the gut's intestinal flora leading to yeast proliferation. Tubes in the ears are mostly antibiotic/medical failures with infections returning within two months and the tubes can cause hearing loss years later. Children with ear infections need chiropractic adjustments. In many cases ear infections are observed to disappear after chiropractic care, saving children from ear-tube surgery and antibiotics. Case studiesA common example is that of 2 and 4-year old sisters with chronic ear infections who had received numerous courses of antibiotics over at least two years with no improvement. After adjustments the mother reported that both children were "doing much better" and the children had no more ear infections. Other case studies include: a baby boy 6-months-old who was scheduled for ear tubes. His ear infection completely cleared after one adjustment and tubes were never inserted. Also, two girls aged 3 and 4 with chronic ear infections and upper respiratory dysfunction received adjustments and no more ear infections occurred since their first visit.
