That sucks. My kids doctor told me that every ear infection leaves a little scarring on the ear drum. For that reason, I bought some backup natural remedies like garlic oil to help keep it at bay until I get the prescription.
The garlic mitigates the infection which, in turn, lowers the risk of the scarring.
I do one ear at a time and lay down to let gravity get the oil into my ear while holding a Kleenex. It will slowly seep out for a while after that. Whatever you do, don’t wear a white shirt after doing it.
Thank you! One more quick question: Do you infuse the oil with raw garlic or do you let it cook together for a bit before cooling it down and then putting it in your ear? Sorry for all the questions, it's just that I didn't know ear infections can scar the ear drum and I'm worried if my kid ever gets one (God forbid).
My daughter had bad ear infections all the time. I asked the doctor for a few refills that I could use in the future. As long as the infection is not bad and you catch it, I think you would be good (concerning scarring.)

Curious- I’ve heard to put raw garlic in the ears before. How do you use garlic oil?
Juice the garlic or crush it and mix it with olive oil. Or you can purchase it.

Pro tip- great on salads too!😉
Do you put the oil in your ears- or just consume it? I love raw garlic. Anytime I’m chopping some I always eat some too. And thanks!
Put it in your ears.
just curious, does the garlic oil prevent the scarring? And do you put like a cotton ball or something to stop the oil from leaking out?
