I have the symptoms associated with ear infection. What should I expect at the doctors office?
An otoscope is an instrument used by doctors to examine the inner ear. This tool is the primary examination method used by physicians to look for any redness and fluid behind the eardrum. The otoscope is also used to see if the eardrum moves in response to air pressure. Secondary testing may include an audiogram, in which tones are emitted into the ear at various pitches to indicate how much hearing loss has occurred. Finally, a tympanogram can be used to evaluate the eustachian tube of the ear to see how well it is functioning. All tests are considered minimally intrusive and will provide the doctor with the best course for treating your possible infection. However, it is always important to be prepared. Otitis media can be very easy, or very difficult to treat, depending upon the individual.
How do I know if my ear infection is caused by a virus or bacteria?
As always, Progressive Health recommends contacting your doctor if you suspect any irregularities in your overall health, including ear infection. The only definitive way to determine if certain bacteria are the culprits is by means of a thorough evaluation. Additionally, because of the problems attributed to antibiotic resistance and subsequent persistent infections, culturing the material behind the ear drum has gained popularity among medical practitioners. As the bacteria usually come from the nasal cavity, cultures from the back of the nose are also considered (somewhat) predictive.
If I’m prescribed antibiotics, is Anistil safe to take along with these medications?
To date, there remain no contraindications for the ingredients found in Anistil, even when it is used to supplement your existing treatment protocol. Adjusting inadequacies from diet with nutritional supplementation has been shown to provide a greater benefit than when medications are taken alone. As well, certain lifestyle factors such as regular exercise and quitting smoking will lessen the chance of developing an ear infection. Progressive Health’s unique ear infection-fighting formula has been scientifically shown to boost immunological functioning while lessening the severity of your current symptoms; including increased circulation, reducing existing inflammation, and providing your body with potent, disease fighting antioxidants.
If I decide to order Anistil, are Progressive Health's products sent discreetly?
Yes; Progressive Health respects your privacy. All orders will be shipped in a plain, unmarked envelope with a return address from Progressive Health Nutraceuticals Inc. (For more information about our shipping and billing policies, see Shipping and Billing below)
How soon can I expect to see results?
The results derived from Anistil are dependant on the individual and condition severity. While a large number of customers yield immediate results, others may see results in only a few short weeks. Generally, we advise that you use the product continuously, for a minimum of 45 - 60 days.
Are there any side effects when taking Anistil?
As with all nutritional supplements, there is potential for reaction. Progressive Health ensures that all potential conflicts and side effects are listed on the product information pages. However, we strongly recommend consulting with your physician if you suffer from any pre-existing conditions (other than ear infection), known allergies, or if you are currently taking any medications. Based on customer feedback, order history, and regular product overview, there has yet to be a report of any serious side effects resulting from the implementation of Progressive Health products into existing treatment programs.
