Rethinking Ear Infections: Trust The Body, Use Tools Wisely

We unpack why kids get so many ear infections and share practical, gentle care that helps fluid drain, calms pain, and reduces repeat illness. We explain when to wait, when to use home remedies, and when tubes or antibiotics make sense.

• child anatomy and eustachian tube mechanics
• chewing firm foods to stimulate drainage
• movement, massage, and chiropractic support
• dairy, mucus, and simple diet swaps
• wait-and-see vs routine antibiotics
• managing fever, rest, and fluids at home
• safe use of garlic mullein oil and colloidal silver
• perforated eardrums and when to worry
• deciding on tubes when anatomy drives repeats
• empowering parents to ask better questions
