Take the baby to a good Chiropractor. As a chiro myself, I have seen an upper cervical adjustments knock out ear infections.
This is just an observation from a non-medical person who has raised 5 babies and exposed to thousands of situations of young motherhood. I am also a very rigid follower of that rare “common sense” type of thinking.
I find that nature takes care of most problems for babies. Your body is designed to function properly when you nurse your baby and do not have any vaccinations until after 6 months (at least). The brain has no natural barrier at birth so any toxins will go straight to the brain (and all vaccinations have added toxins). Young babies can not excrete the toxins out of the body, so they will enter the brain. Maturation eventually creates a brain barrier.
I have never had vaccinations for my kids until after 6 months and none had ear trouble. I also nursed solely for those months. None of my five children had “tubes” put in ears. None of my babies screamed bloody murder at night except very rarely if they had a temperature and were sick which happened rarely which Tylenol always relieved.
They also were never in a “day care” exposed to an unnatural amount of germs or “too many germs” all at once which is not natural. They entered a “preschool” for a few hours a week at three and then were sick more often but hardly where they were incapacitated.
I have read much about vaccinations and some “side effects” listed for certain shots— that there can be piercing screams for hours after vaccination. Why? Unbelievable!!! Screaming that is unresponsive to a parent’s soothing is very unnatural for any baby unless something is causing enormous pain.
My observation of the pharmaceutical company where profits are greatest if shots made mandatory is that although vaccination damages the millions of “healthy” people.....money is the bottom line. They don’t care. Is there a reason government would allow millions of people to be intentionally injected with toxins and possibly harmed? Hmmmm.
With the cultural Marxists in power—they absolutely have ulterior motives. They want a mass of damaged, emotionally and physical cripples (and in need of trillions of dollars of pills). They can control the masses easier especially if they are dependent on drugs. They hated the individualistic, Christian population because of their independence and disdain for government interference.
I am not against some vaccinations, but know there is risk in every vaccination and that the risk/results have to be carefully evaluated which young people never do anymore. They just accept that vaccinations do no damage (intense billion dollar marketing) and just good....when they have to do damage because of the added toxins needed to produce the vaccine.
Never have so many vaccinations been forced on babies.....many are unnecessary for healthy mom’s and healthy babies like the Hep B one. It is a crime to inject that stuff in a newborn which is such an unnatural attack on the developing body. It always will harm something...because of the toxins and manner of injection...and cause the baby to develop differently than naturally. The animal studies show that this vaccination damages development of infant monkeys. Why do we force this vaccination on healthy people?????????Logic can never justify putting those toxins (3x’s) into a newborn. It is a crime and I would never listen to a pediatrician that claims it does no harm. It is a lie.
I have observed many young parents that have trouble with “screaming” infants. Infants should never be screaming unless they are in extreme discomfort which means something is hurting them. It is unnatural and should not be happening unless something is seriously wrong.
Just observations from years of working with children. All parents should NEVER take a government seeped in Marxist ideology to be truthful about anything. I would always take the opposite advice of government concerning the raising of a child. The feminist and homosexual movements are trying to destroy the natural family and the healthy bonding of a happy child/parent...because there is nothing so beautiful and powerful as that bond. They have a reason to destroy that bond and make parents easily give their babies to institutions to form their worldview. Nothing destroys the bond more than parents getting no sleep and babies constantly screaming. Wonder why that could be a side effect of vaccines?
God take care of your precious little one. I would try the natural remedies prior to the unnatural.
Our son had problems like that until he had tubes put in his ears at 2 to help them drain..
Our 10 day long Christmas misery was when he was 18 months old
its called a mylangotomy (sp)
It sounds like the antibiotics didn’t knock it out the first time.
I use Tea-tree Oil, which you can get at Walmart in a little, dark, glass bottle. (The bottle says not to use it on infants, but so does everything else.)
I haven’t tried it on an infection that was oozing, but it cleared up one on my 7th child that we’d given up using antibiotics on ... and neither he nor the next two children have had any ear infections since I started using it. And it cured one of our adult NC FReepers of a resistant ear infection.
For an active infection, dip a cotton swab (I prefer brand-name Q-tips for this, because they hold together better than generic swabs) in the oil and carefully wipe the gunk from the ear, three or four times a day. For prevention of further infections, wipe out the ears about every other day (it dissolves the ickiest ear wax, which several of my sons get), or every day if the child is congested.
Olive oil is a helpful substances as well, without any risks, although not as disinfectant as tea-tree oil, which also cures toenail fungus and yeast infections.
Oh darn he’s cute.
La Leche League ties ear infections to use of formula and cow’s milk. Just that the milk (protein)(?) molecules are smaller and can go through permeable membranes/ cause allergic reactions.
I breastfed, baby did not have ear infections; therefore I know NOTHING, only remember this correlation. If it makes sense in your case, you might try it.
I do remember going crazy with an infant, though, and there was NO cure besides time. Pretty soon they won’t cry all the time and will be able to talk. Then a whole new set of problems arises, and there is even more to worry about — hence, less sleep than ever.
By the time they are 20, they are definitely sleeping through the night and not crying and whining (as much), but you will never sleep well again, due to even LARGER shenanigans.
hahah. Welcome to parenthood.
Please be sure to update us. Your baby is so precious.
Find a specialist, find a way to pay for it. Otherwise you are likely to go up time-wasting and money-wasting blind alleys. The time-wasting is the most important thing since you and I and the nurse-practioner, general practitioner have no idea of what is going on inside that ear.
Why are you asking for advice from strangers on a News forum if you already have a friend that can give direct professional help?
Your implications seem very offensive to me. A decent person wouldn't denigrate a person that is only trying to help you in a very stressful situation.
