[blparent] ear infections and natural remedies

[PICKRELL, REBECCA M (TASC)]

Pain is also worse at night and nobody knows why. I've also had a friend tell me that if a person experiences pain or discomfort, it will happen between midnight and 4 a.m., and that again nobody is quite sure why. 
I'd ride this out, sleep however and wherever and go to the doctor tomorrow which by now would be yesterday. 
Peroxide works at getting junk out of the ears. Bob is right about antibiotics. You do want to get at the underlying cause.

Barbara,

Be sure you know what the problem is.  Wax build-up is one thing but an ear infection is another.  From what I remember, the oil treatments are most 
effective against wax buildup.  Antibiotics don't always work immediately but they should begin working pretty quickly, but it may be necessary to use some 
drops as well to help.  I have known a couple of people who experienced hearing loss because of untreated ear infections, so I'd get back to your doctor if 
things don't seem to be improving, though, rather than experimenting.  

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson
