Wellness Tips from Josef Schenker, MD | How to Avoid Ear Infections

Ear infections are a common health concern, particularly among children. In the United States, over 11% of children with three or more ear infections annually also report dizziness and balance problems, more than double the rate of those with fewer infections. This statistic underscores the impact ear infections can have on overall health, highlighting the importance of prevention and early intervention.

Ear infections, medically known as otitis media, can range from mild to severe and affect the inner, middle, or outer ear. Let’s gain a better understanding of maintaining ear health with the expert guidance of Dr. Josef Schenker.
