Homeopathic Solution for Ear Infections
Are you tired of giving her antibiotics every time her ears hurt? Do you know that recent studies seriously question antibiotic efficiency for treating childhood ear infections?
meopathy presents a solution for both, stoping the acute ear infection and preventing future ear infection from occuring. 
Recurrent Ear Infections If your child had more than two ear infections in the last year, she is a good candidate for a professional homeopathic care. Frequent ear infections point to a certain imbalance in the immune system of a child that can be healed by a homeopathic remedy. A homeopath looks at every child in a holistic way. During a homeopathic consultation, the homeopath will observe the child and talk to the parents, aiming to assess the symptoms that the child displays,--including the symptoms of ear infections, the behavior of the child, his likes and dislikes, and the family history of diseases. After taking into account the totality of the child's symptoms, a homeopath prescribes a constitutional homeopathic remedy. The constitutional remedy eliminates the cause for the ear infections and balances the child's immune system. After a constitutional homeopathic treatment, children stop having ear infections. Depending on an individual case, their appetite may improve, their sleep may get better, and many behavior problems may go away as well. The accumulation of fluid in the middle ear (serous otitis media) can also be easily resolved with Homeopathy. My 3 year old son used to get frequent colds and ear infections. He used to wake up crying in a very bad mood every morning. After he saw Masha, he rarely gets sick. The ear infections are completely gone. He wakes up happy every morning, no more morning crying. His appetite improved significantly. He gained weight and looks very healthy now. What to Do for an Acute Ear Infection The new guidelines by American Academy of Pediatrics say that between 7 and 20 children must be treated with antibiotics for 1 child to derive benefit. By 7 days, approximately 75% of children have resolution of ear infection symptoms, whether they receive placebo or antibiotics. The new guidelines recommend an observation option for acute otitis media, deferring antibiotics for 48 to 72 hours and limiting management to symptomatic relief. Next time your child has an ear infection, ask your pediatrician for an observation option. At home, try a few homeopathic remedies for ear infections, or call your homeopath for a prescription. Homeopathy is known for its effectiveness in both, acute and chronic ear infections. Read here about using homeopathic remedies at home for acute ear infections. Ear Tubes Children with recurring ear infections may be offered ear tubes--small plastic funnels that are inserted into the eardrum so that the fluid can drain. Unfortunately, ear tubes don't deal with the underlying problem--the imbalance in the body that is causing the recurrent ear infections. After ear tubes are inserted, there is a risk of infection from water getting into the middle ear through the tubes. In addition, the tubes need to be replaced as they fall out. I often see children in my office who used to have ear tubes that fell out and now they are plagued by the same ear infections as before the tubes were inserted. |
