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. So, 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 stressed child on their hands.

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 run over many years. It offers parents simple preventative strategies and assists them to manage their child’s ear infections with affordable, natural treatments in the comfort of their home.
