Many doctors are now not wanting to give antibiotics for ear infections which is mostly good news. Here are some suggestions about what I do to get rid of them.
My mom always put a few drops of peroxide in each ear, let it bubble for awhile, put in a tiny bit of cotton and then turn our head in the other directions so it could empty. Then we would do the other side if necessary. I still do that but then follow it with drops of CBG (a liquid of herbs that calms the ear and fights the infection) or Garlic oil.
If anyone else has any herbal helps for earaches or colds, let me know and I will put it on my blog. I want to get as much cold, flu, and related stuff out there before it really hits.

My mama put sweet oil in our ears, warmed up. A few years ago I found a bottle @ a yard sale, come to find out, it's olive oil.Some of the Old Timers blew smoke into an ear.Blessings |

Sweet oil was what we used when I was young, too. Either vegetable oil or olive oil can be used. Should NOT be used if you know you have a perforated eardrum. And, as my doctor once said, "never stick anything smaller than your elbow into your ear"... |

THANK YOU! I had forgotten about olive oil. My mom did that too at times. I am going to add that on the blog. |
