My 6 yr old son has an ear infection any suggestions for at home remedy?
Answer:
Saline drops
Breastmilk (if you are lactating for another baby or know someone who is -- works great)
Certain herbs, but consult and herbalist or natropath.
INFECTION? He needs to be at the doctors. He could end up deaf if it's not treated. There's no home remedy for that.
I know it sounds disgusting, his own pee. I suffered from that when i was growing up and my grandmother did to me, i did it to my kids belie. or not it works. You dont have to obviously. Have him pee in a cup, take a dropper and put a few drops in his ear, then place a piece of cotton in it for a while see what happens.
If its an infection he needs an antibiotic to get rid of it. take him to the doctor or it could get much worse if left untreated. There are no home remedies for infections.
ear infections will not go away with home treatment. take the poor thing to the hospital NOW. do u know how painful that is. i used to get them alot as a kid, and now i occasionally get them, so i know.
There are no real home remedies for this please take him to the doctor or emergency room as soon as possible. I had an ear infection when I was that age and it went untreated. As a result of this I had to have a tumor removed and am now totally deaf in that ear.
small amount of peroxide
Use ear candles. You can pick them up at a GNC or call any kind of spas around you to see if they sell them (you can always buy them online) all you do is put the ear candle in the ear and hold it firm around the ear so no smoke comes from the bottom light the top of the ear candle and let it burn down 3/4's of the way. Cover your sons head and face with a towel so he is protected, and have a wet towel next to you to put the ear candle out when you are done. When you do this he needs to be either laying on his side or sitting some where with his head tilted to the side so the candle stands upright. This should help your son out quite a bit.
Ear drops and a hot cloth
you need antibiotics for the infection, but to relieve his pain try saline drops and have him lay his ear a warm heating pad.
Best remedy is to visit the GP - they can look into the ear and see what's happening. Home remedies may do more harm than good (especially ones thats placed in the ear). You may end up damaging the ear drum.
Take him to the doc if you let it get to far he will end up getting tubes always take you child to the doc when it about the ears plus its very painful
Best thing is take child to doctor. When we were unemployed, my wife would heat up a bit of virgin olive oil in the microwave to just warm, and put a few drops in affected ear. Somthing in the olive oil draws out the infection. Just don't get it too hot. OUCH!
he needs to be taken to the doctor, ear infections can be bad if not taken care of, the posion can take away his hearing and go though his system and make him very ill...
give him asprin, ibuprofin or some pain killer. I had an ear infection and it hurt terribly and nobody could drive me to the doctors and that stuff really helped. But you should take him to the doctors cuz they help. Also let him stay home from school and sleep for a day or two because it's hard to focus when your ear is throbbing in pain.
