6. Herbal Drops
Children with ear infections may benefit from herbal drops for pain alleviation. Herbal ear drops (allium sativum, verbascum Thapsus, calendula flores, hypericum perfoliatum, lavender, and vitamin E in olive oil) were reported to help relieve discomfort in a research. Drops were given 3 times a day, 5 drops at a time, in the study. Dosing and directions should always be checked on the product label. While many herbal ear drops are available over-the-counter, you may want to seek advice from your child’s health care professional or a local pharmacy. If your child has ear tubes or you suspect his eardrum is punctured, avoid placing any drops in his ear. Many essential oils contain antibacterial or antiviral characteristics, which aid in the killing of bacteria and the prevention of virus reproduction. Ear discomfort is known to be relieved by tea tree oil, oregano oil, basil oil, and garlic oil. Try combining a few drops of essential oil with a few drops of olive oil and applying it straight to the ear. You may also soak a cotton ball in essential oil and place it on the ear’s hole to allow the oil to seep in.
