I'm so discouraged! About 2 weeks ago my son was diagnosed with an ear infection (his first) and prescribed antibiotics. I was hesitant to use them, but didn't want his fever to get worse or risk something more serious. So we finished the 10 day course on Friday, he had an excellent sleep Friday night and now this morning he is showing signs of another EI! He's cranky, won't lie on his back for naps, nose sounds stuffy and he is disinterested in nursing. I'm confused as to how he got an EI in the first place, since I am BFing and he doesn't have a cold.
I don't want to go through another course of ABX, especially if they didn't seem to clear up the initial one. What can I use instead that will promote a more natural process of healing, and/or pain relief? He is only just turned 6 months, so I'm not sure what is acceptable and what is not. Any recommendations, suggestions or general support is welcome!!

I would try garlic/muellin drops. You can get them at the healthfood store.
