Ear Infections
Ear infections are one of the top five reasons why children miss school each year. In fact, according to the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders, three out of four children will suffer from at least one ear infection by the time they are 3-years-old. Yet, getting your child to the doctor right away can be difficult. Thanks to the ability to obtain an online ear infection prescription, you can quickly and easily get the medication your child needs.
Often caused by a viral infection, such as the common cold, an ear infection occurs when the middle ear becomes inflamed and fluid builds behind the eardrum. In turn, the fluid serves as a breeding ground for bacteria or viruses (see ear infection pictures).
According to the Mayo Clinic, most ear infections will remedy themselves within a few days of the onset of infection. However, because ear infections are painful, they can be difficult for younger children. Therefore, by obtaining an online ear infection prescription, you can help alleviate your child's pain and get him or her back on the road to recovery quickly.
Treatment of ear infections typically revolves around pain relievers such as Tylenol and ibuprofen, which can be used to alleviate the pain. If you are unsure about the dosage amount to give to your child, you might want to consider initiating an online ear infection consultation with one of our physicians for assistance. It is also helpful to place a moist, warm washcloth over the infected ear to help relive pain.
Along with pain, other common signs of ear infection in younger children are trouble sleeping, pulling or tugging at infected ear and irritability. In some situations, temporary loss of hearing, fever and headache may occur. In the event of a bacteria-induced infection, a doctor may provide you with an online ear infection prescription of antibiotics.
