Xylitol is among bacteria's natural enemies. When certain harmful bacteria enter the body, they attach to the membranes of the nose and throat and onto the ear.

Curing infections that stem from a urinary obstruction or other systemic disorders depends on finding and correcting the underlying problem, sometimes with surgery. If the root cause goes untreated, this group of patients is at risk of kidney damage.

Ear infections are most common in children or those with allergies or a medical condition such a cleft palate. In children, the eustachian tube is shorter and less slanted than in adults and is ... more susceptible to bacterial and viral infection. For those with chronic or regular ear infections, prevention is often the best solution.
