Also, pop some eucalyptis oil on a tissue under the sheet - this helps to keep the earways clear. Worth doing whenever they get snotty. Or in a burner/vapouriser.

Raise the top of the bed to help sleep.

Destuff is good too.

My sympathies - ear infections are the pits.

A couple of drops of pure lavender oil down the ear will work a treat. Or soak a chopped onion in some water and put a couple of drops of the water down the ear and it will also work :)]]> Sat, 05 Feb 2011 07:26:17 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37869&PID=1259631&title=ear-infection-remedy#1259631 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37869&PID=1259617&title=ear-infection-remedy#1259617 Author: sunnyhoney

Kiwi Herb are on the internet and do a fab product called "De-Stuff" for kids. It's herbal/natural remedy for ears and nose. It helped my eldest to stop having so many ear infections and the ones she did get, a combo of medicine and De-Stuff helped them clear up quicker. Now when she gets a bit snuffly we dose her with De-Stuff straight away and it usually doesn't develop into anything major.

It has a dosage on the label for little ones - you can always give less than the stated amount if that makes you feel more comfortable using a herbal product iygwim. Best of luck ]]> Sat, 05 Feb 2011 00:08:46 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37869&PID=1259617&title=ear-infection-remedy#1259617 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37869&PID=1259377&title=ear-infection-remedy#1259377 Author: kiwi2

I have used it on myself with an ear ache but not sure about bubs. Cut a clove of peeled garlic and put the cut end in the ear. Then sleep with that ear up off the pillow so the juice drains into the ear. I really don't know about bubs though. I am sure it can't hurt but ears are so precious that I would be very careful. ]]> Fri, 04 Feb 2011 20:01:57 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37869&PID=1259377&title=ear-infection-remedy#1259377 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37869&PID=1259327&title=ear-infection-remedy#1259327 Author: nannyabbey

hello peoples. there possibly is the answer to this somewhere but i can't be arsed looking for it....(spoken like a mumma who has had crap sleep because of an ear infection kid!! ha ha)

Bubs is currently on antibiotics for an ear infection which seems to be still bugging him - i remember reading about alternatives to antibiotics to help clear them up.
Anyone know of this? I don't really want him to be forever on antibiotics to get it sorted.....
