What are the Natural Approaches to Frequent Ear Infections?

Ear infections can be treated various ways. What’s best for your child depends on many factors, including your child’s age, medical history and the type of ear infection.

A wait-and-see approach

The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) recommend a wait-and-see approach for the first 72 hours for children who:

• Are older than age 6 months
• Are otherwise healthy
• Have mild signs and symptoms or an uncertain diagnosis

Most ear infections clear on their own in just a few days — and antibiotics won’t help an infection caused by a virus. In fact, about 80 percent of children with acute otitis media recover without antibiotics, according to the AAP and AAFP.
Naturally addressing the above causative factors by gathering the correct history, food sensitivity assessment ( link-coming soon to labs fit ) , supportive supplements, herbals and or homeopathics is most effective.
Remember, antibiotics won’t help an infection caused by a virus — and the overuse of antibiotics contributes to strains of the bacteria that resist these medications. The overuse also depletes the good bacteria in your digestive system that aide digestion and immunity. Side effects — such as vomiting, diarrhea and allergic reactions — are possible as well.
