Guest guest Posted January 17, 2001 Report Share Posted January 17, 2001 Here's one of the posts I saved about ear infection remedies. My sister tried the Garlic oil and said it stinks for a long time. ·< Here is what you need & how to go about treatment from the first sign of an ear infection/or fluid buildup.... Go to health food store & purchase a small bottle each of Garlic oil and Mullin oil. (there are some mixed ear oil remedies out there, but better that they be seperate) Have these on hand at all times & begin using them for treament as soon as you even THINK that there may be an oncoming ear infection (ie: tugging at ears/shaking head/whinyness/low grade fever/ & trouble eating or drinking indicating possible trouble in swallowing without pain. Early detection is the key to keeping bacteria in hand! note: don't be afraid to 'bother' the doctor & have him check the ears whenever your concerned. Then treat as follows... for the first 2-3 days....use the Garlic oil only. Treat both ears even if only one seems affected. put 2/3 drops in each ear (warmed if possible) 3 xs per day. Allow to sit & sink in by having the child keep head tilted & jiggle the ear/massaging, ect. then for the next 4-5 days, do the same using the Mullin oil. in between the drops...you can indeed use a warm washcloth compressed to soothe & loosen congestion & continue massage the area around the ear...stroking lightly down the (from the ear) encouraging the eustachian tubes to drain into the throat. Also, treat the fever or ear pain/uncomfortabilty with a CFGF pain reliever...or if you are not into using over the counter remedies such as these, you can comfort with camamille tea or homeopathic tablets. Then have he Dr. re-check the status fo the ear. Continue treatment if neccesary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 17, 2001 Report Share Posted January 17, 2001 Randee, I had sent that out, and am looking for it again now. It will be later today, but I will find it and get it to you. Sorry I cannot find it right now, but gotta run. ear infection remedy > Help friends, > I remember seeing a good natural remedy for ear infections on the list a while ago. I saved it, but then lost all of my saved mails. I now have my first ear infection as an adult. I would love to not have to take an antibiotic. I am going to try to wait to go to the doctor until tomorrow. Could someone please send me a good remedy privately. I am not receiving the list right now, as my computer is still down, so I am just doing a little e-mail on my husband's laptop. Thanks for any help. > Randee > Randee@... > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
