Guest guest Posted January 21, 2004 Report Share Posted January 21, 2004 If it comes down to having to use antibiotics, I would ask for an antibiotic shot. Less damage to the intestinal tract. Also, Elaine has a list of antibiotics that are less likely to create an overgrowth of clostridia on her website. http://www.breakingtheviciouscycle.info Jody mom to -5.1 and -7.4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 21, 2004 Report Share Posted January 21, 2004 My boys don't usually get ear infections, but I've heard if you warm some olive oil with a clove of garlic and drop some in the infected ear, it really helps. Then put a cotton ball in the ear so it doesn't leak out. Maybe before your child goes to bed. That way he is lying down and the oil can really stay in there. Do you think this would be safe to use with tubes? My mom would do something like this when I was little, whenever we had an earache, and it definitely made it feel better.

Guest guest Posted February 4, 2004 Report Share Posted February 4, 2004 We fill an eye dropper with hydrogen peroxide. I bend to the side so my ear is parallel to the ceiling and literally fill my ear holding a folded paper towel to catch any overflow, I usually stand there for a minute or 2, then straighten up and let it spill out into the towel. I put about 1/2 a dropperfull into my kids ears when they are sleeping and it doesn't seem to bother them. My daughter will actually ask me to clean her ears with the stuff that sounds like popcorn. " We haven't had an ear infection now for about 3 years where my autistic son had them every other month. .....lauriew -- ear infection Hi my son has an ear infection, as usual.

Guest guest Posted February 4, 2004 Report Share Posted February 4, 2004 Hello, How often do you " clean " your children's ears. Do you do it regularly or only when they actually have an infection. Thanks. Cecilia ear infection > > Hi > my son has an ear infection, as usual. Does anyone have any recommendations > other than using an antibiotic?
