Treat Your Child's Ear Infections Yourself

Published as one of the ‘in your palm’ Treat Yourself booklet series, Treat Your Child’s Ear Infections Yourself is based on the combined experience of the practitioners from the Children’s Ear Clinic in Sydney that operated for many years. This book offers parents simple preventative strategies and assists them in managing their child’s ear infections with affordable, natural treatments in the comfort of their own home.

Childhood ear infections are the most common reason why children are prescribed antibiotics today. However, research shows that around three-quarters of ear infections settle within 2-3 days without a course of antibiotics.

In this antibiotic-resistant era, ‘watchful waiting’ for children with ear pain is often recommended by medical authorities. This approach is of little comfort though, to sleep-deprived parents who have a distressed child on their hands.

In these pages, you will learn:

• How to safely manage ear pain and infections with complementary and nutritional medicines in the comfort of your home. • Simple strategies which may help avoid a visit to the family doctor or emergency room. • Preventative measures you can take to minimise ear infections. • Why some children are prone to ear infections.

While medical treatment is needed at times, Nyema Hermiston guides parents to safely and confidently care for their children’s ear problem.

Practitioner and author, Nyema Hermiston, RN, ND Adv Dip Hom, BSc Hons brings her 35 years of experience treating children while helping avoid the need for antibiotics, analgesics, and other medications.
