Helping Yourself
The following are steps you can take to reduce your child's risk of getting otitis media:
- Keep children away from sick playmates
- Do not expose children to second-hand smoke
- Breast-feed infants to give their immune systems a "jump start"
- Give children all medications exactly as directed and for the entire course that the doctor has recommended
- Ensure that children eat a healthy diet, including lots of fresh fruits and vegetables for energy and to support the immune system
