Cathy in SoCal Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 I believe you just hit search at the right top. I'm so sorry to hear about your son. Can you call his doctor? I always am hesitant to call the answering service, but it sounds like you don't need to be in this case. I'll pray for him now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs Mungo Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 A folk remedy for ear infections is to warm a little bit of olive oil and drip it into the ear. It works *incredibly* well (i have a lot of ear infections, my kids never get them). One word of caution-do not do this if you suspect the ear drum may have ruptured.

Karen sn Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 Hyland's makes a homeopathic ear ache formula that REALLY works fast. Years ago dd was crying out in pain - a kid who NEVER cried! I was thinking ER stat because it came on SO SUDDENLY! But I sent my mom to the health food store with the name HYLAND'S in her hand. It worked and fast. My mom was floored. Try it.

Tap Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 Warm olive oil in the ear Hair dryer to warm the ear This one sounds odd but...Cook a potato in the microwave for a few minutes until hot. Put the potato in a thick sock. Use the potato for a hot pack. The reason this works is that it is localized, warm, Moist heat. Sit upright, not laying down. Try different positions. Give the child an antihistamine and a decongestant. And of course a stout dose of Tylenol or Motrin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalicoKat Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 I'm always one to wait until we use antiboitics but the last time we had this situation he told me that the sudden severe pain is always a sign of infection. The slow ache isn't always necessarily bacterial, it may be a virus. In my experience I'd be taking this kid into a walk-up clinic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
