Re: More info on ear infections..

[Guest guest]

Here's what worked for us…

My daughter had an ear infection in one ear and wax build-up in the other.

For the ear with the infection…her doc recommended she rest her ear on a damp

warm

wash cloth 2x a day for approx 10 minutes (she wouldn't comply so we put a

heating pad

under her pillow case for 10 minutes after she'd fall asleep.)

For the ear with the wax build-up…put 2-3 drops of hydrogen peroxide in ear at

bathtime. Be sure to wash hair to moisten the wax. Do it for 3 consecutive days

and the

wax will drain.

For both ears with also got ear drops with mullen (from health store)…few drops

on cotton

balls…pleace in ear before bedtime.

She was fine in a couple days.

Hope that helps,

Very good ideas...The one thing I don't like about the article I posted..was

they

were promoting a vaccine for ear infections.. arg ;-(...I would not do

that..Your

routine is a great option to treat ear infections..They generally clear up in

4-7

days..
