HELP! for healing painful ear infection

[Guest guest]

Hmmm. Maybe it depends on the city, I think there are some charity

hospitals, but you have to prove a low income.

Also, some doctors give a discount to uninsured patients, depending on the

antibiotic they prescribe, it shouldn't be terribly expensive. Sounds like

the naturopathic treatment probably isn't that cheap either.

But yes, I'd probably get antibiotics for something like this, especially if

you're still seeing poor results with the current treatment. Then use

naturopathic treatments to prevent it from coming back.

Are you also using heat on it? Is it an outer ear infection, or an inner

ear infection?

In the USA, you can go to an emergency room for free, I believe.

Tara:

If you are in that much pain I think it would be best if you went to

the doctor. It sounds like it is too far out of control.

Another thing that you can do that I used to do to my girls when

they had ear infections is to massage along the front and back of

the ear and down into the throat area. This helps to open up the

passage for the liquid build up in your ear down into your throat.

My chiropractor told me about that. I hope that this helps.

I have a very good friend who went to bed with an ear ache and woke up with

one side of his face not working. Apparently, there is a nerve that runs

through each ear that controls the opposite side of the face (left ear right

side-right ear left side). He still suffers some facial damage (corner of eye

and

corner of mouth pulls down) from the infection. I'm sure he wishes he'd gone

to the doctor right away and gotten antibiotics. I also recommend you go to

the doctor. I'm sure there is a designated hospital in your town that will

treat you free of charge. You can always restore your intestinal tract.

Hi ,

I agree ear infections can cause serious damage - it need not be

permanent. I had serious ear damage myself and unlike my brother I do

not get ear pain, just jaw pain and so I often missed that an ear was

affected. I had badly scarred eardrums and near total deafness one side.

However - Antibiotics only kill bacteria, they do not heal the

damaged ear, nor do they prevent a repeat infection. So in my case I

have since used homeopathy to restore my eardrum and my hearing, and in

future I'd use it for the infection so as to reverse the damage sooner.

Both homeopathy and Vit E are handy to prevent scarring.

I agree with this too.

However best treatment is not necessarily antibiotics depending how fast

one can get the right approach - as antibiotics do not treat the ear nor

prevent recurrence - only kill bacteria that happen to be there. the

real issue is why there was an ear infection in the first place instead

of *resistance* to it.

So if you get the *right* alternative treatment, it will work quickly

and effectively and restore the ear damage and proper resistance. It's

for these reasons homeopathy is a more powerful system here - provided

the remedy is properly matched.

If you can't get that right away then antibiotics can be used to knock

down the numbers till the right ear repair remedy can be matched to fix

the damage.

Holistic care is not neglect. Neglect is no care!

Holistic care is very different from neglect - it not only ends the

infection but restores health where there was damage and restores

resistance where there was none. It's far superior to drugs if used

well. But if there is no good holistic care to hand quickly, then it

would be neglect not to use the conventional alternative, as that has

the big advantage of being readily available in reasonable effective

quality.

Another option is to combine conventional and homeopathic care, or know

when to turnthe patient over to the other system if the current one is

not working. Antibiotics are not great at crossing the blood brain

barrier but homeopathy has no problems there. A brain fever is neglected

if it is not treated by homeopathy when conventional approach results in

death - just the converse of an ear infection being neglected if it has

no antibiotics in absence of homeopathy being available.

It's time we see both sides of the coin. Brain infections respond

readily to homeopathy. It's important to not ignore that life-saving

option. It seems a bit prejudiced to call it neglect in one direction

only. But the conventional world is very blinkered!!! I sure hope they

wake up one day soon :-))

Meantime I am sorry you had to watch someone die of something that has a

known treatment. I felt that way watching my own father die. I knew a

homeopathic remedy to help him but he did not want " that snake oil

stuff " and I was powerless to help. An awful feeling.

Namaste,

Irene
