Did you know that more than 80 percent of U.S. children will experience at least one ear infection by their third birthday?
Dr. Lauren Bakaletz, one of our researchers here at The Research Institute at Nationwide Children's, is working on a vaccine to cure middle ear infections.
Right now, we don't have a way to completely prevent ear infections in kids, but we can treat the infection once a child gets one. Watch how some kids responded when we asked them how they think doctors treat ear infections.
