Children That Suffer from Ear Infection
Ear infections are a common experience in childhood and are a significant medical issue affecting adults as well. Data suggests that around 75% of children experience at least one ear infection before their third birthday. The estimated cost of ear infections in the U.S. is around $5 million annually. Even though children are the most common victims, adults can also suffer from ear infections. The Salt Room South Tampa offers a non-invasive salt therapy treatment that provides relief from symptoms and can prevent its return for a significant period.
Salt Therapy for Ear Infection Relief Support
Ear infections are a serious condition that commonly affects children and can be caused by bacteria, viruses, or fungi. When these organisms enter the Eustachean tube they disrupt its fluid drainage and make it swollen and irritated which causes the inner ear to fill with fluid. The Salt Room South Tampa offers a salt therapy treatment which utilizes the aerosolized salt particles to widen the airway passages and improve drainage and aeration, lowering the infection rate. This treatment also improves the nasal passages by making them less congested, which allows the child to breathe more effectively. By boosting your child’s defense mechanisms, salt therapy has the benefits of strengthening the body’s resistance to disease.
Our Salt Therapy Works
Salt therapy simulates the microclimate found in salt caves and mines but with the added benefit of being controlled and predictable. The sessions typically last an hour and take place in the spa-like halochamber. Kids can draw or play with toys as they sit on the salt-covered floor, much like playing in sand at the beach. A special machine called the halogenerator produces tiny dry salt particles just 1-5 micron in size and releases them into the chamber. A computer inside the machine helps control the temperature, humidity, and mass concentration of aerosol.
Ear Infection Support for Kids
Ear infections are more common in children than adults because the tube connecting the ear to the throat is shorter and straighter, so children’s ears are more vulnerable to infecting bacteria. This trapped fluid from a cold or upper respiratory tract infection creates a breeding ground for bacteria and infections. A middle ear infection or inner ear infection becomes serious when the middle ear gets infected with bacteria, even rupturing the lining there. Symptoms in kids can include ear pain, hearing loss, discharge, vomiting and fever. Cold and flu often lead to ear infection, so kids can experience additional symptoms like runny nose, body ache, cough and difficulty in breathing.
