Do you or your child suffer from an earache? Do they get frequent ear infections or what we call otitis media? Get a doctors perspective on some simple things you can do at home as an effective ear infection treatment. Most importantly you will learn how to prevent them from happening in the first place.
Now, when we talk about treatment, it’s important to understand that there are two main types of infections that we see. One is bacterial and one is viral. When its a bacterial infection it’s called Acute Otitis Media, these are a lot less common. The second type we call Otitis Media with effusion. These tend to be viral.
Now these names don’t mean a whole lot to you, all you care about is your kid’s ear is killing them, but it makes a big difference to your doctor. Because depending on what the ear drum looks like gives us a good idea which is which. Ultimately it matters, because there are significantly different treatment approaches that we take for each of them.
So why does this matter? Well, it’s important to know because antibiotics are worthless in treating a virus. If the ear drum is red and bulging out at you then its more likely to be a bacterial infection and may benefit from an antibiotic. Now, if the ear is just red and angry looking, but not bulging out, then it’s more likely to be a virus and the antibiotic would be worthless.
Unfortunately, for you the patient, there really isn’t a way to know what you or your child have without an exam.
So does that mean that you need to run to the doctor or emergency room every time your kid complains of ear pain? Thank goodness the answer is no. So refer to my other video about when you should be seen for an ear infection.
So what are things that you can do to help you through this?
It’s important to remember, that since most ear infections are caused by a virus, your body will often clear it on its own. Because of that, most of our treatments will focus on helping with the symptoms, while your body does what it does best and fight it off on its own.
Effective measures to control symptoms that have been studied:
*OTC pain meds like Tylenol and Ibuprofen-take according to instructions on bottle, consult your doctor on how to do this, but often times can alternate taking each one every 3 hours.
*Warm compress over the affected ear and alternating that with ice. -Caution not to leave heating pad on for prolonged period to avoid burns.
Helpful but not studied:
*Laying with affected ear up
*Applying downward and outward traction on ear
Some things many may advocate using are putting things like
• Garlic oil
• Tea tree oil
• Ginger
• Olive oil
A few drops of body temperature oil in the ear can provide some relief. I wouldn’t count on it to cure a true bacterial infection but it won’t hurt and can provide some relief.
*Avoid putting drops in ear when there is drainage unless under the direction of physician.
Treatments that are not effective and can be harmful:
*Ear Candles
*Fire Cone
The most important thing to remember about any of the home remedies is that if your symptoms persist or are getting worse after a couple days then go in and get seen.
Best ways to help prevent:
• Get your kids vaccinated for both flu and pneumonia and the bacteria hemophillius influenza. These are standard common childhood immunizations.
• Wash your hands and teach your kids to wash hands frequently
• Get rid of the constant use of pacifier- In one study it showed that elimination of pacifier use decreased ear infections by 1/3
• Don’t give infants bottles to sleep with-Besides dental problems also gives increased risk for ear infections
• Stop smoking-smoke exposure for your kids increases risk of ear infections
• Breast Feed your baby at least 6 months preferably to a year

The Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says that three out of four infants who died suddenly while under the care of a Seoul hospital had bacterial infections. Authorities say test results suggest it was an antibiotic-resistant bacteria, but that doesn’t explain why the babies died in such close succession.
[Pkg]
The four newborn babies died at around 3 p.m. Saturday. When the babies inside the intensive care unit showed abnormal symptoms including fever, the medical staff at Ewha Womans University Medical Center Mokdong Hospital sampled blood from three of them. This was about two hours and 40 minutes before the first cardiac arrest took place. The Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said that based on their initial blood culture test results of the three newborns, “citrobacter freundii”, which is a bacteria suspected of antibiotic resistance, was found in their bodies. Officials said they are conducting genetic analysis for an accurate diagnosis
[Soundbite] Park Gi-soo(KCDC) : “Blood tests conducted before their deaths have produced results of suspected bacterial infection. We’re trying to confirm what the virus is.”
Citrobacter freundii is an intestinal bacteria that exists in normal adults. However in rare cases, for people with low immunity, it’s known to cause pathogenic infections such as respiratory, urinary or blood infections. The bacteria is also prone to antibiotic resistance which raises the possibility of the hospital’s misuse of antibiotics being a factor in the newborns’ death. However even if bacterial infection is confirmed, it still doesn’t explain why the four newborns died at nearly the exact same time. Health authorities are looking into the case and remain open to all possibilities including medical malpractice. Officials are also following up on the condition of 12 other newborns who left Ewha Medical Center or were transferred to another hospital since the deadly incident was reported.

This is a bacterial problem. Like many bacteria, there are hundreds of species in your gut, and this one can become really imbalanced and create an overgrowth. Now, Citrobacter is often by default very resistant to different types of antibiotics. Whether you’re taking Cephalosporin or Fluoroquinolone or something like Ciprofloxacin.
Many different types of antibiotic drugs are given to patients if they come back with a positive for bacterial infection like Citro.
Citrobacter is quite smart. Like many bacteria, it actually gets smarter and smarter with many successive generations.
Particularly if you take pharmaceutical antibiotics to try and counter this. Some little known advice that people aren’t given with antibiotics is never keep taking drugs concurrently for the same infection. It’s dumb. Why the hell would you do that? Why would you keep taking another drug? Doctors will say, “Well let’s try this one. Let’s try that one.” What the hell are you doing trying all these different things for? All you’re doing is just digging a deeper hole for yourself to fall into that you’ll never climb out of eventually.
I’ve spent too much time in my practice trying to fix up the mess created by “Let’s give this a try” kind of practitioners. Be very careful. The first shot is the best shot. If you found you’ve got an infection, of a bacterial overgrowth, be very careful the first time you do a treatment. Consider carefully. Maybe you should take a natural treatment before you consider a pharmaceutical intervention. Because it’s a lot easier to ramp things up than it is to ramp things down. Once you’ve done a lot of collateral damage, you’ve busted up a lot of beneficial bacteria, you’ve created a drug resistant form of bacteria, what the heck are you going to try and do to really clean up this mess?
My opinion, not that I want to blow my own trumpet: Check out CanXida Remove. This is a product I designed which is proving to be highly successful for the eradication of lots of different types of bacteria. I’m also finding it excellent for resistant types of bacteria like Citrobacter. Why is that so? Because it’s a very compound product that contains many different types of antimicrobials in it. Some people will say, “Oil of oregano is the best” or “Tanalbit is the best” or “Plant tannins are the best” or “Grapefruit seed extract is the best.”
What I did is I spent quite a lot of years doing stool testing on patients, and I’ve really worked out that many patients come back with bacteria or overgrowths like Citrobacter freundii. I’ve worked out with the stool panels, we can have a look at the back of the stool test and we can actually see the susceptibility panel. We can see what Citrobacter is very sensitive to, and that was a big part of how I created my product, was looking at thousands of stool tests over a period of a long period of time and working out the best combination of antimicrobials to counter this, and the results are certainly coming back.
We’re getting really good feedback from many people now with Citrobacter infection that we’re slowly turning these infections back to normal. Be careful what you take. Even if you just take one antimicrobial like oil of oregano, you may develop a resistance against one particular type of thing. Just be careful not to routinely take the same natural product or pharmaceutical especially, again and again. It’s not a good idea.
When you take a very good antimicrobial and you’ve got a big Citrobacter problem, you’ll find initially a big counter response of the body. This can be described by some people as die off. A good product like CanXida Remove will create a strong effect to counter bacteria like Citrobacter. That could include for up to a week, initial discomfort, but that will very quickly disappear, and you’ll notice a big change in the comfort of the digestive system.
So, rule number one: Think carefully about taking a pharmaceutical drug for a Citrobacter problem. Number two: Why would you take the same medication time and again or keep changing it to different types of medications, whether it’s pharmaceutical or natural, to get the effect you’re looking for. Number three: your first shot is your best shot. So, when you’ve got a problem, take something good straight up front, low dose to get used to it, and to test what your reactions are, ramp it up, and then high dose. Take the sustained high push for several weeks, maybe three or four weeks, and then back off and at the same time you can take a good digestive enzyme/probiotic product. Something like CanXida Restore for example can be taking concurrently with Remove, or could be used at the tail end to finish things off and to tidy up the gut. Of course, retest. So if you’re positive for Citrobacter, check it out again to make sure that you’ve nailed this thing.
