- Re: Ear infection statistics?

[Guest guest]

Thank !

I imagined so -- the real issue is (I *think*, and only think so, I'm

not a doctor) -- is the drainage problem with the eustacian tubes. I

think when the ears are asymmetrical (or even with the head tilt and

torticollis), the tubes are not effectively draining, causing the

cumulation of fluid and then an infection.

I am hoping there is some sort of study out there, but any info you

could get from your chiro would be helpful.

Thanks!
