Due to the high risk of burns, ear candles should not be used to remove wax from ears!. There is no evidence to indicate that these candles are safe or effective for treatment of AOM or other ear conditions!.
Herbal remedies are not standardized or regulated, and their quality and safety are largely unknown!. Parents should never give their child herbal remedies, including oral remedies, without approval from a doctor!.

hi,
there are a number of things you can do to help your ears!. firstly in regards to diet limit sugar intake as this gives infections energy to keep going, eliminate milk and cheese as these are mucus forming!. eat lots of garlic!. you can also get garlic oil drops for the ears (this has antimicrobial properties) but only if the ear drum if not perforated!.
for the pain in your ears you can try a yellow onion remedy!. cut onion in half and heat in oven 200 degrees celcius for a few minutes and then wrap in a cloth and hold on the ear until onion has cooled!. this should help with swelling and improves circulation!. the same onion can be reused repeatedly!.
however because you are breast feeding be careful!. most of these things should be fine but babies may be affected by what the mother ingests!.
oh and too many antibiotics are bad for you and the rest of the world community!. but if the ear problems keep happening you should have it looked at again, it may be something else!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Obviously you have a real nasty ear infection!. It is too bad it wasn't treated more aggressively at first!. I would ask your doctor for a prescription of Azrithmician (zithromax) and also a prescription for ANTIPYRINE/BENZOCAINE OTIC!. The zithromax is a good antibiotic that does especially well for ear infections and the ANTIPYRINE/BENZOCAINE OTIC is an anesthetic ear drop so you don't have to be in excruciating pain (it is also great for kids too, it makes ear infections easier to deal with!)!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I have 3 comments for your consideration!.!.!.!.!.

Did your doctor check your ears for wax build up!? If you have a chunk of hard wax deep inside your ear, the pain can be excrutiating! If you do, it can be softened with a couple drops of olive oil in each ear twice a day for a week and then have your doctor flush them out!. It's painless, feels incredible when it's being done and if a plug of wax does come out, there is instant relief!.

I might also suggest a trip to the dentist!. I had something similar that didn't seem to clear with amoxil!. It turned out I had some infection in a couple of my back teeth and the paid was widespread so it felt like it was coming from my ears but was actually from my teeth!. Once the teeth were fixed, the problem cleared straight away!.

If it isn't wax buildup and it is the ears though, I'd ask your doctor to refer you to an Ear, Nose, Throat Specialist!. You might have some fluid in your ears and perhaps having tubes in for a few months would be helpful for you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

try making garlic oil!. Just a little veggie oil in a jar and cut up a clove of garlic or 2, put it into the oil and let it set for a day!. Put a few drops in each ear!. I use it on my kids, works well!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
