Re: ear infections - first step?

[Guest guest]

Apart from medications, please clean his toys with anti-bacterial or

disinfecting wipes. My neightbor's daughter had repeated infections and her

mother couldnt figure out why and then it occured that the germs were living in

the house, so she got the house cleaned inside out and disinfected all her toys.

Now she wipes all her toys every week.

Hello,

My 3.5 year old son has been getting recurring ear infections. Right now he's

had one for

almost a week. He spikes a fever and shivers, then it disappears with Motrin. I

think his

immune system is poor as he is constantly getting colds and such. Does anyone

have any

suggestions and dosage for something I can give him now to help? He's on an

antibiotic as

well. I haven't done that in the past, but his fever was so high I went ahead

and agreed.

But I don't see it helping, which means it's viral, correct?

Thank you!

My 12 yr old son just went through an ear infection. I poked the garlic gelcaps

that I had and dropped them into his ear about 3 times a day and gave him Olive

leaf extract (250Mg.) 3x's a day. I also gave him more vitamin C too. He was

over it in two days. He also had a fever with his. Yes, I believe it is viral.

It sounds viral, antibiotics wont help, can actually cause more

problems in the long run. Fever, this is the bodies natural source for

killing viruses. The motrin well prolong the illness, use very little!

Garlic well kill any virus. Add lots of Vitamin C, Olive leaf extract

well help also. Our family has been antibiotic free for a long time now

due to garlic! Poor little guy, I hope he feels better. Pump the water

in him as much as possible and for the fever, less clothing well

comfort and a cool bath also. Jennie<><

Hi ,

My first thought whenever I hear of recurrent earaches/colds is to look at

your child's milk tolerance. Our daughter had 8+ rounds of antibiotics for ear

infections between her 1st and 2nd birthdays, but has only had 6 earaches (3 of

which we know are from milk exposure) in the almost 8 years since then as we

took her off milk 2 weeks after her 2nd birthday. As her reaction takes 4 days

to peak and she had been getting milk every day, it took us a while (and an

article in Parents' Magazine) to make the connection. I've heard that other

sensitivities can cause this problem as well. I don't know if enzymes take care

of this kind of problem, as it's a sensitivity to the proteins, not an inability

to break them down, which is what I understand enzymes to be for.

Hope this helps.

-Thank you everyone! For his weight (30 lbs) how much OLE should I give him? Do

I put it

in a drink? I'd read somewhere about rubbing it on his feet too.

Hi michelle:My 2 year old NT daughter has had 3-4 ear infections and I have

treated each with Willow/Garlic Ear Oil by Herbs for Kids. You put it directly

in the ear. Each has been gone within a day. My 5 year old SPD son has never

had one.

Awww poor baby...those are so awful. My one daughter had these til

we took her to the chiropractor and had her neck adjusted. Then no

more ear infections. We use epicor, olive leaf, elderberry, beta

glucan 1-3 2-6, and as much vit C as their bodies will take to build up

the immune system. Since you are giving antibiotics, are you giving

her yogurt or probiotics. You will prolly need to start or increase

your yeast protocol. We always try to read the ingredients on the C

because so many additive are often added to make em cheaper...and those

are usually what cause my kids problems...that and a lot of em are corn

based which was a terrible nono for us.

Hope your little one is better soon.....

Oh!!! for fevers, I freeze coconut juice in ice cube trays and let em

suck...it tastes good and has lots of goodies to put back in their

bodies....also do watermelon the same way....they love it and will eat

lots so that helps keep them hydrated.

Try removing milk, see if that helps.

If not, try addressing yeast overgrowth. My kids' ear infections were

mainly caused by yeast

If you suspect bacteria, you can try OLE.

Wally ear oil [garlic/mullein] can also be helpful.

Try giving vitamin C and lysine, and maybe biotin and/or probiotics to

keep yeast under control.

It would mean it was viral, or yeast-related. Try giving biotin or

even GSE, which would address the yeast faster.

I started my kids with 250mg per day and worked up from there.

You can, altho it tastes VERY strong, so watch for that.

Just wanted to say thank you to everyone for your help. I upped my son's

Virastop

yesterday and did garlic oil in his ear. His fever has disappeared today for the

1st time in

10 days. Now he's all stuffed up, but I'll continue with the virastop until he's

all better.

Thank you again!!!
