I think mullein ear drops would work well.

I was wondering if anyone knew what to do for an infant that has an ear infection? She is 8mo old and in good health. but she had an ear infection and i want to avoid antibiotics. Thanks Willow

--- I use olive oil that I have allowed 1 clove of garlic to set in

for about 3 days or so, remove garlic, add about 10 drops each of

essential oils of eucalyptus, lavender, and Ti tree. This is what we

use for ear drops.

 

I also use onion poultices on my kids' ears when they are infected.

Just cook 2 onions (1 would be sufficient for a baby) in some grease (

any kind:olive oil, goose grease, vegetable oil) until clear and

beginning to brown, about 6-8 minutes. Drain on absorbent paper

towels. Immediately place in very thin cloth (like flannel) and close

up. When still very warm but NOT hot (check by placing poultice on

your wrist) lay on affected ear and leave for at least one hour. It is

best to do this when baby is asleep. We have used this very

successfully with an older child and it pulled all of the infection

out of ear overnight.

 

use poultice, then place drops in ear, add cotton, remove cotton after

awhile.

 

Hope this helps.
