These are diseases that we mostly see in the pediatric age group. Children frequently suffer from upper respiratory tract diseases. After upper respiratory tract diseases, microbes easily pass into the middle ear through the nose and throat. After every cold and tonsillitis, children may develop middle ear infection.

To prevent all these inflammations, especially in children, but the same applies to adults, eat healthy. must. It is necessary to eat less carbohydrates and sugar, stay away from pastries and stay away from prepackaged grocery products such as biscuits, chocolate and hamburgers. It is necessary to eat home-made foods that are rich in protein and contain fresh butter and olive oil. The carbohydrate content in our nutrition pyramid should be 10-15%. I will always say this because excessive sugary sweet nutrition destroys the body's defense system. Sugary products cause a decrease in beneficial intestinal bacteria and an increase in harmful bacteria.
In addition, to strengthen our immune system, that is, to increase body resistance; We should eat plenty of homemade yoghurt, fresh vegetable salads with homemade apple cider vinegar, tarhana soup, leek dish and homemade pickles, and especially feed these to our children. These are foods that are sources of prebiotics and probiotics.
This is the most important way to prevent otitis media, tonsils, adenoids and upper respiratory tract infections in the body. Otherwise, removing tonsils and adenoids will not stop the germs, it will make them stronger.
