Young children and ear infections seem to go hand in hand.
But there's a growing debate about how to treat ear infections.
The latest medical trend is to back away from antibiotics.
(----------------)

For years doctors prescribed 10-days of antibiotics for children suffering

dont really help, and could be harmful in the long run.

So what's the best way to treat an ear infection?
Doctors say it is still important for your child to be examined to make sure
it is a simple infection.
Then pain killers can be given to keep them comfortable while the infection
clears up on its own.
This usually can take between three to five days... no longer than with
antibiotics.
Doctors say antibiotics are still necessary for serious infections, but
patience may be the best medicine for the majority of children.

Bo Henson is out as coach of the Toppers.
Principal Susan Morrison stated in a news release that Henson will not return

month.
Morrison would not confirm if Henson had been fired or resigned.
Reached at home this afternoon Henson said he could not talk about the
situation at this time, but would comment in the near future.
Speculation is that the his departure centers around Glass being forced to
forfeit three games this season for using an ineligible player.
