“There is no Dao among the common people that is greater than the Dao of Nurturing the young, If (Children) are not Nurtured when they are young, they will die before reaching adulthood…” (Sun Simiao 652 Bc. translation by Sabine Wilms, Venerating the root)

Ear infections are the most common cause for a sick child visit to the doctor and accounts for half of all pediatric antibiotics. Statistics shows that a child has 80% chances to have an ear infections before the age of three and 20-30% chances of 6 recurrences before the age of seven, in the US alone it is estimated of 16M annual episodes. Conventional treatment includes conservative treatment with antibiotics and antihistamines and surgical treatment including tonsillectomy adenoidectomy and/or myringotomy and tube insertion, two options that are usually hard for the aware parents and not always effective mainly as they do not treat the root/cause of the infections. Chinese medicine that has a wider perspective for ear infection can offers a much more effective and more gentle treatment that can not only treat the symptoms but also prevent them from recurring. Moreover, the treatment in CM can go along perfectly with the conventional treatment which can lead to a good communication with the MD’s and benefit the patients.
