A member asked:
Does anyone know any natural ways an ear infection can be cured rather than using antibiotics?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Time.: Nasal saline irrigations, topical nasal decongestants, and time will often make ear infections go away. Decongestants and antihistamines by mouth can make the problem worse.
