Prevention: The factors which seem to protect children most from getting ear infections are breastfeeding, not being in daycare, and avoidance of cigarette smoke in the environment. It is also recommended that babies do not feed lying flat on their backs. There is some evidence this may increase the rate of ear infections.

Answer 6

Avoid risk factors: Risk factors that increase the likelihood of getting an ear infection include: exposure to smoke (or other irritant particles in the air), attending a group daycare (catching colds and flus can lead to ear infections), and bottle feeding (breastfeeding lowers the chance of getting an ear infection).

Answer 7

Ear nfection prevent: You will find that there are chest children, sore throat children and ear infection children base on genetics and their anatomy. The first thing to prevent infections is keeping your child away from other sick children and tey to keep hands away from their eyes, nose and mouth. Also avoid chronic bottle drinking when lying down.Also get your shots i.e.Hib/prevnar, these have cut down on ear infection.

Answer 8

Ear infectin study: There are ear, or throat, or chest prone children. Avoid other sick kids at playdates or the library. Make sure your day care/school doesn't allow sick kids into class. Wah your hands repeatedly and have your child avoid rubbing their hands in the eyes, nose or mouth (common entry points for getting an infection). Also avoid bottle drinking on an infants back since this has been linked to infections.

Answer 9

Prevention study: There is a study going on from boston university looking at taking sorbitol three times per day and whether the incidence of ear infections diminish. A finland study showed a decrease in the incidence of taking sorbitol with five doses per day. It works on chnaging some of the bacteria in the mouth-ear environment.

Answer 12

From someone else: If you yourself are not infected with a cold or upper respiratory infection, then you most likely came into contact with someone or something that was carrying the virus. Once you came into contact with the virus you touched your eye and infected it.

Answer 13

Pink eye: Not all pink eye is viral...It may look like pinkeye but be caused by allergy or a chemical or dry eye or herpes virus. Classic pinkeye in adults is usually caused by a cold virus, though...

Answer 14

Virus only in eye: If a virus is introduced into the eye, one can have a viral infection of the eye without a cold.

Answer 15

Neck pain: This needs to be checked to assess the severity if no significant pathology anti inflammatory meds and muscle relaxants may help as will exercise and pt.

Answer 16

Several things : First, try sleeping with one small pillow and use tyjenol or Ibuprofen or Naproxen if no contraindications. If a smoker, stop. Try heat applications and some gentle stretching in a hot shower. Avoid activities that aggravate your neck and avoid prolonged positions. If no better, get evaluated for further options based on findings.

Answer 17

Myofascial Therapy: Think flesh not bone! wellness is vital to controlling any headache or pain issue. Magnesium is also vital. It will help relax the associated muscles, decrease stress, stabilize sleep and help other meds and therapy to work efficiently. Self or profess massage, chiropractor, yoga, heat, stretching all are needed. My favorite in my practice is acupuncture and myofascial tissue release.
