Ear Infections - nasal spray and Otovent

[Guest guest]

My son has fluid in his ears and the ear specialist recommended antibiotics and

I asked for alternative. We are trying steriod nasal spray along with a product

used in Scandanavia called Otovent. It is basically a product where you force

air through your nose to blow up a small balloon attached to a small plastice

device and then let the air back in a swallow it. It is supposed to equalize

the pressure and help reduce the fluid. My sensory seeking son actually loves

this.

Just wondering if anyone has tried this and does this work. I am desperately

trying to avoid antibiotics and surgery for tubes.

Also, does a steriod nasal spray have side effects for yeast, bacteria, phenols,

etc?

I use OLE for antibiotics.

My son needed tubes because of excess fluid and a few other things. I found that

addressing his mitochondrial dysfunction corrected that problem. I wrote about

it here

For some kids, removing milk will eliminate the problem.

Steroids tend to increase yeast.
