Why visit the Homeopathy Clinic for childhood ear problems?
Many children who get frequent ear infections need to take increasing amounts of antibiotics to treat a single ear infection. Some children have little more that a week or two in between courses of antibiotics. This is what we call ‘the antibiotic treadmill.’ Homoeopathic medicines help to increase a child's resistance to coughs, colds and tonsillitis. This decreases the frequency of ear infections, and the need for treatment of any kind. When an acute ear infection occurs, homeopathic medicines can rapidly help ear pain and infection.If you do not want your child to take antibiotics, the Homeopathy Clinic offers an alternative.
The other reason to visit the Homeopathy Clinic is to treat glue ear before anything like the surgical insertion of grommets is considered.
Homoeopathic medicines drain and dissolve fluid from the middle ear and improve hearing, so that grommets are not necessary. Because the glue is often very thick and has been present in the middle ear for a year or two, the successful treatment of glue ear can take some months. Therefore, we recommend homeopathic treatment as soon as glue ear has been diagnosed or suspected.
A common perception is that homeopathic medicines work more slowly than medical drugs. The correctly prescribed medicine can relieve pain and reduce fever in a distressed child within an hour or two. There is no medical preparation, apart from long-term low-dose antibiotics, that can treat glue ear.
