My Child Keeps Getting Ear Infections One After the Other. Antibiotics Get Her Over the Acute Episode, But Do Nothing to Prevent Another One. Can Homeopathy Help?

Yes. Most cases of otitis media (inflammation of the middle ear) can be treated with homeopathy. In fact, some parents become so proficient in treating acute illnesses with homeopathy that they rarely, if ever, have to take their children to the pediatrician. However, when it comes to chronic otitis with fluid behind the eardrum, it is best to see your homeopath as your child will need a deep-acting remedy. With careful prescribing, otitis will become less frequent, and it will finally cease.

Home Remedy For Earaches (not homeopathic):

2 teaspoons honey

2 teaspoons vinegar

2 teaspoons distilled water

20 drops kyolic (a garlic preparation available at health & natural food stores)

20 drops rubbing alcohol

Combine and shake. Place 4 to 8 drops in the painful ear (s) twice daily.

Note: Do not take by mouth. Use only externally in the ear. Do not use if ear is discharging.
