Natural Cure for Ear Infection

Ear infections can be of two kinds, outer ear infection known as external otitis and middle ear infection known as otitis media. These ear infections are common in infants and children resulting in ear ache, fullness in ear and high fever. Severe middle ear infection can result in reduced resistance to colds and infections.

Children can also become clammy because of sweaty head and will often have a sour odor.

Here I have some of the very good natural cures that can help you treat your 5 months old baby for ear infection. Read on the following remedies carefully and try them, it will definitely bring relief to both you and your baby.

Place a few drops of olive oil or garlic oil in the ears of your baby.
You can also try pouring drops of lobelia or mullein oil.
Garlic and olive leaf extracts are also effective in treating ear infection.
Try giving alcohol free goldenseal and Echinacea to your baby. You can mix this extract with expressed breast milk or fruits flavored sugar free yogurt so that it’s easy to consume and swallow.
Your baby is only 5 months and must be bottle-fed. Replace cow milk with soy milk, rice dream or nut milk.
Keep your baby’s ear canal dry and avoid unsanitary conditions. When you are bathing your baby, keep a cotton ball in his/her ear so that soap or water is not retained in the ear.
