Ear infection home remedy for kids

What Causes Ear Infections? Middle ear infections are caused by bacteria

and viruses. Swelling from an upper respiratory infection or allergy can block the eustachian tubes, which connect the middle ears to the throat. So air can't reach the middle ear.

When Medical Care is Needed?

• The child has dizziness, hearing loss or increasing pain

• The child has a fever of over 102• Child experiences any redness, swelling or loss

of movement around the sore ear• An object is lodged in the ear• You suspect that the eardrum has burst• Symptoms do not lessen within 48 hours

Ear Infection home Remedies:• Warm Compresses: The pain of the ear infection could be lessened by a warm compress.

You can try on a hot water bottle, a rice heating pack, and a warm, wet wash cloth and both seemed to work well and prefer the wash cloth so add some soothing dried chamomile and rosemary to the water for an extra boost and changed the wash cloth out frequently to keep it warm.

• Garlic Poultices or Oil: This seemed to be the most effective remedy, as our son fell asleep

really quickly after we started this and slept through the night.

• Eardoc treatments: Eardoc opens the clogged Eustachian tube, therefore

allowing drainage of accumulated fluids out of the middle ear – relieving pain immediately.
