A few people have asked for the recipe that I used this winter for ear infections. I bought it at first, but then got this recipe from a friend. (Thanks Christine!) I know that this looks a little crazy, but antibiotics weren't working for Reuben and this did! The only down side was that he always smelled like he just ate at The Olive Garden. (He is either going to love Italian or hate it when he grows up!)
1/4 cup olive oil or sweet oil
4 cloves garlic finely minced
Put in a pan on low heat and let warm for 15-20 min ~ the idea is not to cook the garlic but to release the oils. Strain into a jar (preferably glass-I just used a baby food jar) and let cool. Drop 2-3 drops in each ear 2 or 3 times a day and put a small bit of cotton in the ear. Should clear things up in a day or two. The mixture will keep in your fridge for 3 - 4 days then you will need to make a fresh batch. I don't put cold oil in the ears, but warm it up in a hot water bath first!
