Disappearing Ear Infections

Ear infections were considered “bread and butter pediatrics” a few decades ago, but several studies seem to show a steady decline over the years. Today we explore what’s at the heart of disappearing ear infections including immunisations, diagnoses, and parental habits. We also talk about prescribing antibiotics to children with our guest, Dr Yong Junina Fadzil, Consultant Paediatrician.
