General Health What is an Ear Infection?
There are two main categories of ear infections:
Otitis media is an infection of the middle ear, behind the eardrum. It is most common in infants and children and occurs if bacteria or viruses get into the space of the middle ear.
Otitis externa affects the ear canal, which runs from the ear opening to the eardrum. It occurs when a substance enters the ear canal and is trapped there by a buildup of wax.
Most ear infections are usually associated with an upper respiratory infection or allergy. According to the book “Prescription for Natural Cures” by James F Balch MD and Mark Stengler, N.D. the over-prescribing of antibiotics for childhood ear infections has been a contributing factor to antibiotic-resistant bacteria. In addition, they put you at risk for candida overgrowth.(1)
