How do I use CS to cure an ear infection???

I have twin boys who currently have an ear infection- I believe. It has not been confirmed by a Dr, but I was trying homeopathy, and diluting Melaleuca oil, and putting that in their ears, but nothing seems to help! THEN, it dawned on me- Colloidal Silver STUPID!!! LOL BUT, I'm wondering how I give it to them- in the ear, or orally??? I've done both tonight, but not sure if in the ear would help if it's on the inner ear. Anyone deal with this before??? Please advise ASAP!!!!! Thanks! Tweet
