Consider other Rx's: Many ear infections are viral and thus not helped by antibiotics. Like a cold they'll go away without treatment, though 4 studies have shown that homeopathy works better than antibiotics (and is far safer). Studies also show that ear infections treated with antibiotics are more likely to recur than those treated with homeopathy or placebo. See http://tinyurl.com/znpohoz Also see comment:
