Gigi, I have treated ear infections with Chinese medicine, and greek wives cures I have a book of Chinese acupressure points for kids and have massaged Matilda's ears at 4am when she's woken up screaming in pain in her ears. 2 days later I took her to the Gp for something else & he asked what ab's she was on for her ears, I said none... he said she was recovering from an ear infection. I give them homeopathic immune boosters during winter and only take them to the GP if there are 2 or more definate signs of infections. I.e. high temps which don't go down with panadol or neurophen, red hot to touch ears, glands raised, etc. Yellow noses don't count, green only if it continues throughout the day etc. Certain infections, i.e Throat are hard to treat on younger bubs. They can't gargle betadine etc. So often they have to be treated. I usually buy those homeopathic lollypops first and have a go with them. Others like ears I try the home remedies first.

Vicky oh man You are such a caring generous woman, I'm sorry you have to go through this! If I had known I would have had more of a chat with you last night.

Jovie's not sleeping today I hate these days. I just want to rest!
