I've tried different remedies and this is the BEST ONE SO FAR! There really is no need for me to continue the search. I've tried the vinegar remedy & the tea tree oil remedy...BOTH OF WHICH was uncomfortable and was painful to my kids. But with the garlic remedy, MY KIDS LOVE IT plus it is so soothing. My youngest always claims she has an ear infection just so I can use it on her. lol
Garlic has a natural strong anti-biotic property.
Ingredients: - Fresh RAW Garlic
- Oil (best- olive oil or even coconut oil) but any cooking oil will do.
Instructions: - Chop up some garlic. Amount of garlic really depends on how much of this treatment you want to make. Personally, I just "eyeball it" so lets just say... 3 cloves
Get some oil and place on a pan, turn on stove. (again, amount of oil depends on how much of this you want to make.) I usually use like 2-3 tablespoonsHeat up oilAdd the garlic into the oilCOOK it but dont BURN IT as you dont want to cook the natural anti-biotics out of the garlic. Just cook it until its a little brown.I personally get a spoon while its cooking and i smash up the garlic as much as I can so that more garlic juice will come out into the oil.Turn off stoveGet a strainer and strain into a cupWait for the garlic oil to cool off a little...til its warm (test on your wrist)Once its warm and doesnt burn your wrist, place it into BOTH EARS (as its hard to tell which ear is infected.)
- Have your child lay on one side
- place oil into his/her ear
- Wait for a minute or so (to ensure that it goes all the way deep in his/her ear)
- Place cotton ball (to prevent from draining out)
- Wait for another hour, then repeat using the other ear.
For those who dont want to go through all that chopping and cooking, you can always buy Garlic gel pills (preferably the non-scented garlic gel pills) Just poke a hole into the gel pill and squeez unto the child's ear.
When a child has an ear infection, its usually associated with a FEVER. To reduce fever, read my ONIONS remedy.
