The Dreaded Ear Infection

My now 3 year old daughter had a cold that turned into something that actually had her saying "Mommy my ear hurts".  While this will seem insane (according to all my friends), this was her first ear infection/ear ache.  For me this was another WOW  she has an ear ache, possible infection?    I don't want her going to the doctor to get some antibiotics to take.  What can I do naturally?

OK, here is what I made and put in a little bottle with a dropper for her.  1 garlic clove simmered in 2 tablespoons of coconut oil just till you smell the garlic.  Let it cool.  Put it in a bottle with a dropper, you can buy them at a drugstore.  Use it 2 or 3 times a day until gone.  The garlic and the coconut oil are both anti-bacterial.  It will take a few extra days to the ear infection to cure, but reallly? Not having to do anti-biotics should be worth it.

If it doesn't help at all, than by all means call a doctor.  But stats show that kids ear infections, even without ANY help improvement on their own,  80% of the time.

I'm willing to be in the 20% trying to help her without any antibiotics if I can!

Till next blog.........
