Publisher's Synopsis
Nearly 90% of children have had otitis media, or middle ear disease, by the time they reach 5 years of age. This book will help you understand the different forms of otitis media that may (or may not) require treatment with an anitbiotic or other medications, such as over-the-counter remedies. Reading it will help you understand the causes of the infection; the impact of anitbiotic-resistant bacteria that can cause the disease; the importance of fluid in the middle ear; why some children are more affected than others; and how to prevent future attacks.
