Guest guest Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 , I just mainly let them run their course, as they have been shown to clear up just as quickly without antibiotics. But if I want to speed up the healing, I also give megadoses of vitamin C. Personally, I have not found vitamin C much use, unless in megadoses. Used that way, it is more effective than any antibiotic, in my experience. Fieldman Ear infection So, I took my son to the doctor and it turns out he has sinus issues and an ear infection. Of course the doctor prescribed him an antibiotic. I thought I had heard they were urging doctors to stop prescribing them so quickly for ear infections because they can clear up without them (guess my doctors didn't get that memo). Anyway, after much thought I decided to get the antibiotic, but after giving him the first dose he threw it all up. What can I give him that would be more natural? Should I call the doctor and see what else I need to do? I'm sure this has probably been a topic on here before, so sorry about the repeat. Thank you so much to everyone who responded about strep throat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 , Vitamin C is great, be careful with large doses though, if your child gets diarrhea cut back a little on the C. Again, Garlic oil in the ears will help fight the infection, as well putting garlic oil or juice (from the jar of minced or chopped garlic) in all their food, just enough that they can't tell it is there. My daughter,at 1 yr. had and Eand we gave her garlic oil as recommended by my midwife and she never needed antibiotics and never had an infectionagain. You can get a blend of garlic oil with echinacea which is also good for the immune system. I breast fed laying down too. My kids rarely even get the sniffles, and I am on my 3rd child, she is 4 now and my oldest is 10. Check out your local Health/Vitamin supply store.

Guest guest Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 One of my sons, who never got ear infections, once had both ears terribly inflamed to the point where even my naturopath said I might need to get him antibiotics. But first we made sure he was off all of the usual suspects--dairy, food dyes, sugars, etc. and to give him homeopathic belladonna, and probably C, quercetin (this was years ago). Worked like a charm. I would now also use Larix--use it for all infections. It comes in a powder you mix in juice but good luck giving it to a baby. It tastes a little bitter sometimes.

Guest guest Posted December 27, 2009 Report Share Posted December 27, 2009 You may want to have her mom check into food allergies. Gluten and dairy are heavily tied to chronic ear infections. My children have not had one ear infection this year - we have been gluten free for a year. Also chiropractic adjustments can help keep them at bay and avoid antibiotics. She probably also needs some probiotics because she has probably been loaded down with antibiotics. 70% of the immune system is in the gut. Steph ear infection My niece has an ear infection again, she gets them quite often. I think I read something awhile back about using iodine to treat ear infections but I've not been able to find it in the archives. Does anybody know about this or have experience using the iodine to treat ear infections? The iodine I have is the Lugols 5% that I got from JCrows.I really appreciate any help on this.Thanks,a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 12, 2011 Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 I still have an ear infection and now I'm on a 2nd antibiotic. I'm slowly getting better I think but maybe i should also use the Godzilla and place the electrodes in my teeth should do it. Anyone ever try this?

Guest guest Posted May 13, 2011 Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 Off Beck topic - I'm 76 and have 16 great grand kids so this is well proven. Mix half & half white vinegar & alcohol. Dip a Q-Tip in this and clean ears. This is especially useful used after swimming in public pools.

Guest guest Posted May 13, 2011 Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 So far its no better, I used the Godzilla once for 30 minutes with one connector in my ear the other in my upper gums on the same side Would using it only on my wrists help?
