How can I get rid of a mild ear infection without antibiotics?

Question

I'm just looking for a homeopathic remedy. I get them frequently because of sinus drainage and it's expensive to get to the doctor every time I get one. They also get worse if untreated.

Answer 1

You might try putting hydrogen Perioxide in each ear for ten minutes a piece. I found this neat website that I thought you might find interesting I know I did: http://www.angelfire.com/az/sthurston/hydrogen_peroxide.html

Answer 2

I have a son, Joey Niceforo, who is a young 27 year old tenor, with a group called "DESTINO" recording in Vancouver Bc, Canada.

For the last few weeks Joey has had a cold. Just a few days ago he developed an ear ache, a swollen ear and loss of hearing. He was diagnosed with serous otitis media (middle ear infection).

The major concern we have is that Joey and the Group DESTINO have been booked to open the Marie Osmond show in Disney World on April 3,

Have a quick remedy for our son??

Joey's ear got better just before flying.

He also got the special ear plugs for flying, and arrived in Florida, from Vancouver, on April 1st. On April 2nd he told us the ear was almost 100 percent, and he will, with the other, great DESTINO tenors be performing, in the COLORADO BALL ROOM DISNEY WORLD tonight at 7 pm.

This help was so effective, and helpful, to our young Canadian tenor, Joey Niceforo. I'm sure this input and therapy advice will, and has helped others.

Answer 3

If it's an outer ear infection you can use 50% rubbing alcohol & 50% white vinagar mixed together. Use a dropper, tilt head & fill ear canal let sit for a few minutes then drain. Use twice daily.
If you are getting "inner" ear infections it's unlikely your going to treat them successfully at home. If this is reaccuring ask your Dr for treatment options to include antibiotics with "refills" for infections as needed. Or some adults require ear tubes sometimes. Have you considered or are you on daily anicongestants for you sinuses? If they dont seem to help you might need to try something else.

Answer 4

Find garlic oil (at a health food store) and drop it in the infected ear. If you cant find the oil get the capsules and break them open. Also, take 3 a day orally doing both should keep an infection away.

Answer 5

antibiotics are effective in curing mild infections.but most of the people don't know that eating fish with blood or fish without scales will trigger the infections while treating the disorder with antibiotics.so it is better to wtch your diet while taking some type of antibiotic.some foods produce allergic reaction to some people so add this to your list of food not to be taken while in treatment stage or process.

Answer 6

A cheaper way also is to use polysporin ear drops and if it doesn't work or worsens see a physician.
