How to prevent infections in the ears

While it may not be possible to completely prevent ear infections, there are several measures that can help reduce the risk of developing them. Good hygiene, such as regular handwashing, can help prevent the spread of germs that can lead to ear infections.

Additionally, breastfeeding your baby, getting vaccinated, and practicing good allergy management can also help lower the risk of ear infections. If you or your child is prone to ear infections, your healthcare provider may recommend ear tubes or other interventions to help prevent future infections.
