Infections in the ear, also called infections of the ear, can be very bothersome, particularly for young children and those who take care of them. Doctors prescribe anti-biotics, which can be more trouble than they are worth. When an ear infection, you may have pain in the ear, the throat, and as a headache.
There are two common types of ear infections.....inner ear and outer ear infections, also called external otitis.
If you have an outer ear infection, you will have some pretty strong pain which intensifies with pressure on the outer ear. Swimmers are the most common recipients for this infection.
Inner ear infections can be painful of course, and also cause you to become dizzy and lose balance. These can be caused by bacteria or a virus. It is wise to seek help from a professional as soon as possible.
There are home remedies for ear infections. This doctor of naturopathy has perhaps one of the best methods known of clearing ear infections. You, or your child, does not need anti-biotics in the ears, as these are dangerous especially to young ones, and anti-biotics do nothing for virus issues as you can see from this consumer information page from the Mayo Clinic.
