dear Dr. Mom,
I am just bringing on top of the messages my reply to the same subject posted 3 days ago by mommy26.
This is my reply to her and to you Dr. Mom.
There are some online resources on the subject which might interest a lot of moms who eventually find themselves facing ear infections, and above all the doctors :

dear mommy26 and dear dr.Mom,
I am so glad I found this posting : I have the same problem, I have been fighting against ear infections with my son for 6 monthes, and told to put tubes.
His hearing test also showed hear loss in one of the ears; the doctor detected a non flexible drum even when there was no infection,
He also has a lot of wax in his ears in spite of just done ear candling.
I am using EAR SPRAY from MH, and I make some massages behind his ears toward his neck to help drain the eustachian tubes.
The infection is sometimes improving, but never goes away
I have tried all the possible things, no dairy no sugar, and we still have the infections: I even went to a new naturopath who gave him omega3-elderberry-silica 6x -quercetin , I will try this for a month and see if it works.
I have started giving hot bath and then cold water to help with the lymphs, as suggested to me
I DEFINITELY WANT TO TRY TO WRAP MY CHILD/S NECK WITH the cotton cloth that You described, Dr.Mom,
ONLINE I FOUND SOME RESOURCES, some of them are studies made by doctors, hospitals, the regular traditional medicine in few words, which prove that tubes and antibiotics are not the answer: I want to share this info with everybody because it may actually help to face a doctor (like my son's pediatrician) who want you to put tubes in your child:
