Re: High fever, ear infection HELP!

[Guest guest]

Do you have any breast milk handy?? Put it in the ears!

If not, our peds. (VERY natural) always told us that antibiotics are for

when your body cannot handle the infection on it's own. I hate antibbiotics

and rarely use them, but there are times when I thank my lucky stars I have

access to them. If you are " scared " as you said, maybe it is time to

consider other options.

Good luck.

This is from my own personal experience. As a scuba instructor, I had to

dive, it was my job, an ear infection greatly hindered that ability. A boat

captian suggested I take diluted hydrogen peroxide (hydrogen peroxide and

dilute it slightly with filtered water) and drop it into the affected ear.

It sizzled and made an enormous noise, but the pain cleared up pretty

quickly. I have heard of others recommending the same with good results.

You may even find your child asking for more.

I will forward you the post from someone with a similar experience, if I can

find it.

Best wishes

NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! no tylenol or anything like that!!!

a fever is the body's own weapon for fighting

infection, and the last thing you wanna do is suppress

the fever, as that can be very dangerous! 104F is

nothing too worrying. if he feels really

uncomfortable, let him have a bath in tepid water. if

you're still breastfeeding, pour a few drops of breast

milk in his ears, this will help any infection. if

not, try a little warm olive oil infused with garlic,

the garlic has antibiotic qualities.

if you look in the archives of this list, there are

many posts for treating fever homeopathically, you may

find the right remedy for your little one.

Thanks to all for your suggestions. I'll try some ear drops.

I've done some reading and am relaxing about the fever and infection, but I am

concerned about his listlessness. All we wants to do is be held, but not

stroked, and

sleep. No food. A little water and some soy and nut milks that we give. His eye

lids

can hardly stay open sometimes. Even most of the alt med literature seems more

concerned with such listlessness than anything else. He riminds me of me when

I've

had the flu really bad, but I'm usually better in about three days, this is

going on 5

days for him now. Is that too long?

I haven't been able to find a homeopathic remedy that totally fits his symptoms,

but

then he can't communicate alot about his pain and I can't really see into his

ear, so

I'm not able to make such a fine distinction. So far I guess Pulsitallia,

Silica, and the

one for flu... something with a " G " ... seems closest. Is it bad to use a

composit

remedy that contains a few of the usual sspects?

Thanks

Hi ,

Sounds like you are new to the list. I don't remember hearing from you

before.

Welcome

The concern with children is whether they are getting dehydrated.

Is he drinking? How much? Is he peeing? how much.

Is his mouth dry? Eyes sunken?

5 days is a little long in my opinion.

Can you see a homeopath? Where do you live?

Composite remedies aren't the best. Best to find the right one, but I'd

rather you see a homeopath at this point, if possible, since none of us can

see him.

I do know of an excellent chiropractor in Elmwood Park, Dr. Henry

Cooke. I am chiropractor myself, and I worked for him 10 years ago

before I went away to school. I have a 21 month old who has been

adjusted since birth, and one month ago had a mild ear infection,

with same symptoms, fever of 103-104 for 4 days. We used

adjustments, belladonna to keep her comfortable, and lots of

nursing, and love, no drugs. I hope this helps!!

I would have already taken my child to a doctor, if he had a high fever and

was listless for 5 days. And I personally would not be feeling relaxed

about fever/infection if it has been 5 days. Sending healing thoughts for

your little one.
