Although this may not be directly related to swimming, I wanted to share a helpful tip regarding middle ear infections.

Many children suffer from this problem, which can hinder their ability to learn how to swim.

Recently, I came across a video on YouTube discussing oral health and how it's possible to cure various dental issues.

As someone with gum recession, I was intrigued and decided to learn more.

To summarize, I discovered Dr. Ellie Phillips' oral health system and have noticed significant improvements in my own oral health.

She also emphasizes the connection between oral health and ear, nose, and throat health and recommends using xylitol mints and xylitol nasal spray (affiliate link).

While the mints primarily promote good oral health, the nasal spray can also prevent middle ear infections.

"If you know any young kids suffering repeated ear infections - you may want to recommend that before they have tubes in their ears etc., maybe they consider xylitol mints and a xylitol nasal spray - which have studies to show can limit middle ear infections by nearly 50%." 
                      - Dr. Ellie Phillips, DDS

I hope this information is helpful to you. Xylitol nasal spray is a safe and effective way to help prevent middle ear infections. However, it is important to remember that they are not a substitute for medical advice.

If your child suffers from frequent ear infections, please see a doctor.

Thank you for reading!
