Approximately 40% of children suffer from otitis media (ear infections) before they reach the age of five. Acute ear infections are associated with several symptoms like fever, headache, irritability, and listlessness which may lead to hearing impairments or other complications.

If you’re the parent of a child with ear infections, you know all too well that antibiotics don’t prevent the next infection.
