Every parent who has heard the plaintive cry "My ear hurts!" knows that ear infections are among the most troubling childhood ailments.

My Ear Hurts! offers clear explanations of the causes of ear infections and up-to-the-minute discussions of

  • traditional medications, including the overuse of antibiotics
  • surgical treatments, from insertion of ear tubes to new laser techniques
  • alternative treatment options, such as herbal and homeopathic remedies and chiropractic treatment

Also included are

  • advice on how to talk to your child about the infection and its treatment
  • guidelines on what to do when your child is under somenone else's supervision
