Ear infections are common in children, but there are things parents can do to help reduce a child’s risk.
The New York State Department of Health offers these suggestions:
Health Tips
* Breast-feeding, if a viable option, may reduce the risk of ear infections.
* Do not let a child under age 2 lie flat while drinking from a bottle.
* Never allow anyone to smoke around children, and avoid exposing the child to wood smoke.
* If your child is in day care, work with the staff to promote cleanliness and hygiene.
