Guest guest Posted November 3, 2007 Report Share Posted November 3, 2007 Hope, In my opinion many have experienced many type of infections, including ear infections either during or after an exposure. Even without this type of exposure many kids for some reason today are experiencing this type of infection or it is often called, " swimmer's ear. " I have obtained many articles pertaining to this infection, some that are written by physicians. Their recommendation for treatment and preventation is white vinegar. Many times they are treated as a bacterial infection, when in fact the majority of the time it is fungal, aspergillus niger. I am not a doctor, but by personal experience on my own children and grandchildren, the white vinegar worked every time. Normally just one treatment, several drops in the ear. Most likely you will see a results quickly just after one treatment. Since I am not a doctor I would not recommend this if tubes have been inserted. I am not aware of this type of procedure. So please use at your own discretion. I have never had any problems using this type of treatment, even at 6 months old. Some families that have had continuous bouts with their children could not believe the results and now use it once a month as a prevention. I have also found it works many times for skin irritations, cuts and it will sting for a short time in an open wound, but it definately speeds up the healing process.

Guest guest Posted November 4, 2007 Report Share Posted November 4, 2007 Hope - I don't mean to be lame, but I've got to state this for the sake of the list just in case anyone is unclear about this... You do realize that if it's a fungal infection, the antibiotics likely won't do diddly squat because they are meant to cure bacterial infections rather than fungal ones... If the prescription was intended to address fungal infections it would be called anti-fungal rather than antibiotic. Many Americans don't get the distinction. KC knows of what he speaks. ~Haley gs1 <grapeseed1@...> wrote: KC, I will try the white vinegar ASAP. I already got a prescription for an antibiotics, though. Thanks!!

Guest guest Posted November 4, 2007 Report Share Posted November 4, 2007 Hope, Thanks Haley, I forgot to mention that. Learning from experience from nephews that have been on antibodics and steroids for years to treat ear infections. The infection went away and then came right back. The white vinegar antifungal/antibacterial and if you don't see a results within a day or two, see your physician. It should help stop the acke, burning and itching almost immediately. As always use caution. I've always used it straight with never any problems. KC KC, > > I will try the white vinegar ASAP.

Guest guest Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 What kind of ear infection is it? inner ear, middle ear, external ear or ?? Has a doctor seen it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 The doctor just said it is a mild ear infection, cleaned up my plugged ears, and I can hear again from my left ear. However, the left ear has about 80 percent of hearing according to the hearing test. So, the doctor wants to do another test in two months. He said, it has nothing to do with mold?!
