Re: Ear infection

 What do you think of Spud's iodine idea. Although the trouble with that is he will get a stained yellow ear, and he has to go to college, so he might not go for that idea after all.

With alcohol that is fine as there will not be any water in it. It is the water that allows the breeding of bacteria and fungus.

Anyway, today he is taking the Pau d' arco at least 20 mins before meals and we should get 4 doses in.

He was a bit hit and miss before, and sometimes only doing three.

He said he was hurting earlier but is now crashed out on the sofa, so maybe that is the Pau d'arco's doing.

So i could start the probiotics now, seeing these don't destroy the flora.

Just take them at different times.

I've been sneaking tablespoons of oatbran into his cereal bowl for the prebiotic.

One thing else, should he be unclogging his ear? He can't hear out of it and the doctor did not flush or clean it. Or will it do this on its own.

It will do it on its own, though it takes time. You can warm some olive oil to use as ear drops to soften up the wax then use a bulb syringe to carefully remove some of the wax. Just make sure not to insert the bulb syringe too deeply and do not suction it too hard or fast.
