Guest guest Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 Does anyone know of anything for an ear infection in an adult? Thank you! Julie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 Hi, You could try aromatherapy - Use a drop of Lavender (Lavendula Angustifolia) on some cottonwool & make a plug of it to place in the ear. Use Roman Chamomile (Chamaemelum Nobile) in a warm compress on the side of the face (Do not pore the oil directly into the ear). If there is no improvement within 24hrs or you develop a fever or if you have pus appear from your ear you may need to seek other help. Hope this helps - as there is nothing worse than an earache.

Guest guest Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 Chew sugar free gum with xylitol in it. I think Trident has it in there as a sweetener. In some studies, Xylitol cleared up ear infections in children. Xylitol prevents bacteria from 'sticking' to mucous membranes. Gargle with some water with xylitol dissolved in it. You could also garlgle with Listerine as it will kill any bacteria that could travel from your throat to your inner ears. You also should take a decongestant as ear infections often originate in the sinus/throat area & travel to the ear via the eustation tube & it when it gets stopped up due to congestion, it can't drain.

Guest guest Posted November 23, 2006 Report Share Posted November 23, 2006 Probiotics, and stop if you drink dairy or anything with a high amount of sugar like soda and candy. I used to have troubles with my ear, a eustachaen tube problem but since Ive gotten good enteric coated probiotics and drink a lot of water it's helped. oh and one of those saline spray/drops that you can get at walmart for a dollar help to clear me up. http://www.mercola.com/2001/feb/4/bacteria_ear_infection.htm , " Julie " <illgalus wrote: > > Does anyone know of anything for an ear infection in an adult? > Thank you! > > Julie > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 To prevent ear infections in both adults and children, make a mixture of equal parts Vinegar and Isopropyl Alcohol and place a drop or two in each ear after showers, etc. when the ears are exposed to water. The alcohol dries any water in the ear and the vinegar creates a low acidic environment where bacteria cannot grow. I suffered from chronic ear infections for years until I found this remedy a couple of years ago and have had only 1 since then. I got a spray bottle from my local pharmacy and use about 1/4 cup to 1/4 cup and keep it handy for use after every shower. , Julie <illgalus wrote: > > Thank you Jean.

Guest guest Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 Last couple times I had an earache, I chopped up an onion, wrapped it in a cotton handkerchief and held it to my ear for a long time. Could feel the vapors sort of " burning " , and it helped a lot.
