Try massaging with firm downward strokes of your fingers. Start around and behind the ear and then progress to the Depression behind the jawbone under the ear. Move down and into the neck and down to the collarbone. Pay special attention to any spots that are sore, swollen or hardened (lymph nodes). Use a kind of 'milking' action always moving downward from the ear to the collarbone. This can really help to move the stagnant lymph fluid along and help the body eliminate the infection and congestion. This is good not just for ear infections but throat and sinus as well.
Hope you are well soon!
