Guest guest Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 Thanks for the info...I put the oil steeped with garlic in his ears but could not tell a difference. I remember when I was little and had chronic EI, my mom did the olive oil and I just waited it out with a heating pad until the long delayed and anticipated POP came and I was on the road to recovery! I have not heard about onion juice or Breastmilk though! I will have to look into that one...thanks again to EVERYONE for sharing your experiences and insights!!!!!! I did give 1/2 of a dose of pain reliever at 6 am and he slept soundly till 10 am. But by then his fever had broken and I felt better about it. P <ExcitingHealth@...> wrote: Have you tried onion juice OR olive oil (slightly warmed before putting in ear)? Both terrific remedies for ear infections, and usually have an immediate impact on the pain as well, but if they don't reduce the pain in 15 to 30 minutes, I'd consider one dose of pain reliever to take the edge off. The body heals when it gets rest, which can't happen if the child is in constant pain.

Guest guest Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 Just wanted to add in that I have also heard of the success of breastmilk and onion. I had chronic ear infections as a child, and I still get 1-2 each year. I use mullein oil mixed in with garlic oil. It knocks them out right away.

Yes, she knows of his acute and saw him and how sick he was. I had been in the mountains for Thanksgiving and brought my remedies with me. I treated him with Chamomila 200C for 24 hours and did not get an improvement. When his symptoms changed and he started discharging from the eyes and ears I consulted my Miranda Castro book and felt he needed Pulsitilla which I administered in 30C for 2 days and still no improvement-he acted and looked as if he was getting worse. So I called her and made an appt. She then gave him a 200C of Lycopodium, in one dose and said not to retreat for at least two days...I thought from your teachings I would keep giving until it showed signs of improvement. Last night he was just laying in the bed writhing in pain with a constant weak whining. I thought perhaps the treatement was working in the way of getting worse before getting better. This morning his fever has broken, his eyes are no longer discharging (I put a > lot of Breastmilk in them) and he seems in better spirits. I can tell though that his ears still bother him-just not in such an extreme manner. What do you think? Do you think this remedy will aid in healing his earache? From a hom standpoint, what do you do now? You don't repeat 200C as you do 30C....................especially if it is a constitutional And you never repeat without succussing and making a higher potency, in water. > > Thank you for all the information on earaches and antibiotics....just what I needed to hear to strengthen my resolve. My son likes to lay in bed while nursing through the night...could this cause his ear infection? Should he be upright when he is eating? No, this isn't causing his ear infection Again read the article I sent sounds like he is improving, but nto sure its the Lyc How did you give it? In water? How did you repeat it? -------------------------------------------------------- Sheri Nakken, R.N., MA, Hahnemannian Homeopath Vaccination Information & Choice Network, Nevada City CA & Wales UK $$ Donations to help in the work - accepted by Paypal account earthmysteriestours@... voicemail US 530-740-0561 (go to http://www.paypal.com) or by mail Vaccines - http://www.nccn.net/~wwithin/vaccine.htm Vaccine Dangers On-Line course - http://www.nccn.net/~wwithin/vaccineclass.htm Reality of the Diseases & Treatment - http://www.nccn.net/~wwithin/vaccineclass.htm Homeopathy On-Line course - http://www.nccn.net/~wwithin/homeo.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
