Ear infections are common in babies and small children. A child may pull or rub at an ear, but babies can’t always tell where pain is coming from and may just cry and seem uncomfortable. Ear infections are usually divided into those which occur in the ear canal (otitis externa) and those which occur in the small space behind the eardrum (the middle ear).
The middle ear space sometimes becomes filled with mucus (fluid), often during a cold. The mucus may then become infected by germs (bacteria or viruses). Children with glue ear who have mucus behind their eardrum are more prone to ear infections. Sometimes an ear infection occurs 'out of the blue' for no apparent reason.
A chronic ear infection may be more destructive than an acute ear infection because its effects are prolonged or repeated, and it may cause permanent damage to the ear. However, a chronic long-term infection may show less severe symptoms - so the infection may remain unnoticed and untreated for a long time.
Children who have recurring bouts of otitis media may have a tympanostomy tube (ear tube) placed into the ear during surgery to permit fluid to drain from the middle ear. If a child has a bulging eardrum and is experiencing severe pain, a myringotomy (surgical incision of the eardrum) may be done to release the pus.
Our mission is to help your children and focus on the source of the problem rather than just suppressing the symptoms, which is what medication usually does.
We meet with worried parents who have tried several things to bring relief to their child. Every child and every case is different, but unfortunately the end of the story is usually the same: 'the doctor put my child on medication' or ‘my child needs to have an operation

"We've been coming for Salt Therapy sessions 3 times a week for one month. After the second week there was still much fluid in the ear, after the third week it became less and after the fourth week there was no fluid in the ear. In the last two weeks speech has improved a lot and a hearing test is scheduled, but tube surgery is cancelled. (2 years old)"
