I have two moms who do NOT do any type of antibiotics for their children when they get ear infections.
One uses a chiroractor only and seems to have pretty good luck as her kids seem to recover very well and pretty quickly too whenever they have an ear infection and the other mom is very homopathic (? not sure if that is the word) and uses garlic oil drops for ear infections. Her child is 5 now and has never had any hearing issues or lasting issues from ear infections and I know for a fact he has had a few in the last 3 or 4 years.
If I remember correctly, most ear infections are the result of viruses and will clear on their own–no antibiotics needed! Sometimes viral infections progress into bacterial infections and then antibiotics may be necessary but this is the exception rather than the rulehey say most ear infections will go away by themselves. (I'll try and find where I read that so I can back it up.)
GOT it.... so you can do nothing and eventually it will clear up. I understand the whole NON antibiotic thing, I don't really care for them either. BUT I hate to see my child suffer...
I would continue to exclude this child until she could participate normally 100%
