Guest guest Posted July 10, 2004 Report Share Posted July 10, 2004 For those of you who may want to prevent an ear infection from happening (especially if your child gets them often), mix 1 part sterile water with 1 part vinegar then place several drops in the ears once a week. I got this " recipe " from the book " Where There is no Doctor " written for helping people in third world countries. When I lived in the Philippines I would often get slight ear infections from using the aircon often. I started putting drops in my ears and it resolved. Recently here in Australia my daughter, Shan, who is on the diet got an ear infection (beginning of one). Instead of going to the doctor (the plan of treatment for Australia and the U.S. is to no longer treat with antibiotics unless moderate to severe) to get an antibiotic I gave her ear drops several times a day and it was gone in 2-3 days. A friend of mine in the U.S. has chronic ear infections. His ENT (Ear Nose throat) doctor told him to use the same " recipe " once a week to help prevent the ear infections. The vinegar is a natural bacteria killer. It also immediately helps stop the itching that usually accompanies an ear infection.
