Ear infection natural remedy?

Hi šŸ‘‹ my 10 month old seems to have an ear infection. I really don't want him to take antibiotics. Any natural suggestions appreciated!

Simmer a bit of raw minced garlic in olive oil. Let it cool and put a few drops in the ear with a cotton ball at least twice a day. Try to do it 3 Times a day tho. It usually only takes a few days if that to clear up. Do you work with essential oils at all?

@Andi āœØ Thanks so much...I have used essential oils before but I'm in no way an expert

@Jessica if you have lavender you can use it on the OUTSIDE of the ear. You put a diluted drop on a cotton ball and put it outside the ear and it will help draw the infection out.

@Andi āœØ That's amazing šŸ‘ thanks...you're knowledge is awesome. So I should do both?

@Jessica you're welcome!! I've been practicing for quite a few years now. Almost 2 decades now šŸ¤ÆšŸ¤©šŸ„³ If it's minor, I would try just the garlic and oil first. But use both of you feel it's necessary. I like to try one method at a time to see if it works so I know which method worked. But ear infections and babies are nothing to mess with and you wanna heal them quickly.

Also, it's a good idea to keep kind of like a health journal. So you can keep track of illness, treatment, and keep notes of how things work. Or don't work. It's good record keeping.

@Andi āœØ thank you I will start doing the garlic ASAP and try the lavender

@Andi āœØ yes definitely that's a great idea. Or just ask u šŸ˜… x

@Jessica keep me updated ā¤ļø

@Andi āœØ I definitely will. Bless u x

@Jessica thank you, you as well āœØ

My mom always did warm olive oil on cotton balls and put them in my ear and it always helpedā€¦ read goldenseal really helps but since they are only 10 months I wouldnā€™t advise that

@Jade Did she just heat it in a pan? Just about to try it now. How old would you say you can use goldenseal for?

@Jessica yes not to warm thatā€™ll kill the benefitsā€¦ and wait til they are at least 1 for goldenseal

@Jade I just heated it up for about 10 minutes in a pan...hope that hasn't

Just get it warm to the touch just a couple minutes ā€¦ but you can use it if it didnā€™t lose smell
