Having an ear infection or earache can really be very very painful, unfortunately, babies and toddlers aren't equipped with the necessary language skills to let you know that their ear hurts. This why it is very important to tackle the issue head on fast and effectively.
If you are distressed and bewildered parents who have heard your infant or young child screaming in pain, for no apparent reason, you are probably a parent of one of the millions of children who have had an ear infection. Ear infections are the most common reason for a trip to the pediatrician’s office. In fact, more than half of all infants will have an ear infection by the time they reach their first birthday; 75% of all children will have had an ear infection by the time they reach age three and 50% of these will have had three or more ear infections during that same period.
Doctors used to be quick to write a script for antibiotics as the first line defense for ear infections. Doctors believe that antibiotics and/or over-the-counter pain medications are in the best interests of the child (and parents), especially as a means to ease the excruciating pain associated with middle ear infection quickly. If your child has chronic ear infections, the doctor may have advised you to consider the placement of ear tubes in your child’s ears to assist with proper drainage of ear fluid.
What if I tell you that there is a solution to your child’s ear infections that is safe, gentle and natural? What if this same solution didn't require surgery and is drug free and had the potential to work better than any surgery or drug? Try these simple home remedies for ear infections and get instant relief.

Although painful and uncomfortable, ear infections certainly are not life threatening. Generally antibiotics are frequently prescribed when a child has ear infections.

Ear tubes are implanted into the eardrums under general anesthesia to assist with fluid drainage. And, in 20% – 30% of all surgical cases, the surgery needs to be repeated, for some, multiple times.
