Ear infections can affect any part of the ear – the outer ear, middle ear or the inner ear. Ear infections mostly affect young children. The outer ear infection is medically termed as otitis externa. Middle ear infection is called otitis media. Inner ear infection is known as otitis interna. Ear infections can be caused from viral, bacteria or fungal agents but mainly by bacteria called streptococcus pneumoniae. One can contract outer ear infection from swimming in polluted water or from damaging the skin in the outer ear by putting objects in the ear like a key, ear buds or pen. The middle ear infection is basically secondary to some nose/sinus infection or a throat infection. Cold, throat infections usually trap the middle ear in the process of infection. The infection from the throat travels to the middle ear through the Eustachian tube. The Eustachian tube is the channel that connects the throat to the middle ear. In some cases, there occur recurrent ear infections that make one prone to some complications like ruptured eardrum, hearing loss and infection spreading to the mastoid bone and rarely to the brain.
Homeopathy is a very safe, natural and effective mode of treating ear infections. Homeopathy offers complete recovery from ear infections. The homeopathic medicines can wonderfully manage the pain, discharge from the ear, hearing difficulties accompanying the ear infection, along with resolving infection from its roots. Conventional mode uses painkillers, ear drops, and antibiotics to treat ear infections. These medicines offer short-term relief and may have certain side effects too. On the other hand, homeopathy works through a holistic approach of healing and treating not only the symptoms, but also the root cause of the infection to give long-term relief without any adverse effects.
Homeopathy uses natural remedies that work by boosting the natural defence mechanism of the body to fight the infection process. This way it leads to a cure of ear infections. Homeopathy works wonders in both acute and chronic ear infections. It also helps to create immunity to prevent recurrent episodes of ear infections.
Homeopathic medicines are very powerful, and their timely use also provides a shield in preventing complications resulting from an ear infection. It is recommended to take homeopathic medicines after detailed case evaluation by a homeopathic doctor for the recommended time period to get the best results.
Homeopathic medicines are made from naturally occurring substances so they do not cause any side effects. Homeopathy works in a natural way to boost self-healing mechanism to overcome this issue naturally. These can only help, never harm.

Hello Dr. Sharma , my 6 yr old son got an ear infection (right ear) that ended up rupturing and draining white fluid with no smell. I took him in to Urgent Care and they missed the rupture so I took him back in to his pediatrician and said the eardrum had ruptured but healed but now had fluid and infection behind the bulging eardrum and prescribed 10 days of antibiotics. My son has no fever, no pain but does hear a crackling sound when he swallows. Also very congested nose. Does he need antibiotics or can homeopathy help. It’s day 8 he feels fine, doesn’t complain at all, no fever, eating well. Sharp pain stopped when ear drum ruptured.

I have a long term ear infection. It arrived after a cold day outside 3 years ago. Very quickly it travelled to a root canal which then had to be extracted under emergency circumstances . It doesn’t really hurt badly but feels pressure and is uncomfortable, causing mild fevers, especially on waking. There is no discharge. I’ve been taking All-c & Kali Mur. This improves it but still hasn’t irradiated it. I also have sinusitis which was present before the ear infection. Are there other remedies you could recommend?
Thank you for any advice. Jaimie.
I have left ear surgery due to hole & infection. After 5 months start itching in both ears, Now liquid starts coming out from left ear.both ears have inflammation or swelling.Itching is the worst and problem.
