Some ear infections will safely clear up on their own without antibiotics. Often, treating the pain and allowing the body time to heal itself is all that is needed:

* Apply a warm cloth or warm water bottle to the affected ear.
* Use over-the-counter pain relief drops for ears, or ask the doctor about prescription ear drops to relieve pain.
* Take over-the-counter medications for pain or fever, such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen. Do NOT give aspirin to children.

Nov. 16, 2010 -- The best treatment for many children with middle ear infections may be no treatment at all, a review of the research confirms.

The analysis found antibiotics to be "modestly" more effective than just treating symptoms with pain medication. But use of antibiotics was also commonly associated with side effects like diarrhea and rash .

5. Immune Suppression. This may sound odd, as the purpose of antibiotics is presumably to help the immune response. However, evidence indicates that people treated with antibiotics have more repeat infections than those who are not treated. This is especially true of children whose ear infections are treated with antibiotics. Vitamin A and C and the use of simple herbs such as echinacea and astragalus, for example, are much safer and often equally effective.
