Symptoms
of Ear Infections
Ear infections are among the most common illnesses of early childhood. Infections are the result of the body’s inability to fight off foreign microorganisms that may cause damage or disease if left untreated. Infections can be viral or bacterial in nature and might be caused by a fungus or parasite. Antibiotics are not effective against viral infections, but in some cases, an antiviral drug may be used to stop the virus from reproducing. Most viral infections must run a natural course and be fought off by the body, but in some cases, bacterial infections occur secondary to viral infections, and so an antibiotic is used.
Specifically addressing the ear, an ear is divided into three parts: outer, middle, and inner. When an infection occurs in your outer ear, it’s commonly known as “swimmer’s ear”. When we are dealing with the middle ear area, doctors term it, “otitis media refers” which refers to an inflammation in the middle ear area, which usually requires medical attention and treatment. Most children have at least one middle ear infection before they are 2 years old.
An
easy diagnosis for children with ear problems is if they are
exhibiting any or all of the following: 1) An unusual amount
of fussiness. 2) Cold symptoms, congestion & fever
(possible allergies). 3) Excessive pulling or tugging at ears.
4) Ear mucus symptoms. 5) If they walk, the appearance of
virtigo.
There are many reasons why children are more likely to suffer from otitis media than adults. First, children have more trouble fighting infections due to their immune systems are still developing. Another reason has to do with the child's developing eustachian tubes, and the angle at which the slope downward from ear canal to the throat. An ancillary factor in ear infections is swelling of the adenoids, hearing loss, and dizziness. Earaches and ear mucus (puss) discharges are common symptoms of ear infections. However, not all earaches are caused by an ear infection. If a child has earache but is otherwise well, an ear infection is unlikely.
An infection can happen to anyone. Left alone, most ear infections clear up on their own within a few days, and most children stop having ear infections once they reach school age. Unfortunately for many, doing nothing will only exacerbate the problem. The goal then is to treat the ear infection, ear mucus discharges, relieve pain, treat the infection, and lastly, prevent complications.

For Swimmer's Ear
It is important to know what is causing an ear ache, as different causes should be treated differently. Swimmer's Ear is a fungal infection, and almost any type of fungus is quickly and effectively treated with vinegar. The Remedy:
Mix white vinegar 50/50 with clean water. Drop into ear, and wiggle ear to ensure it goes all the way in.
This provides almost instant results, especially if the infection is caught early. My son woke with Swimmer's Ear one night, and after a quick vinegar treatment and about fifteen minutes for the pain to subside somewhat, went back to sleep and by morning his ear was completely well.
You may mix vinegar with rubbing alcohol instead of water, but the alcohol will sting and is not necessary. The vinegar does a fine job of creating a pH environment that is completely unfriendly to fungus, and the little bit of extra water will run out and not cause further problems as long as you dry your ear carefully.

Testimonies In Treating Ear Infections With Colloidal
Silver

I
suffer from CHRONIC EAR INFECTIONS. My ear is like a baby's
ear inside the canal. When water gets trapped, it starts to
itch, and then becomes a full-blown infection. I get big bumps
all the way down my neck. (This is when it's extreme.) I
started to use alcohol and Q-tips after showers or swimming to
evaporate the water trapped in my ear, but that was not a
fool-proof solution. I started using two drops of CS in my ear
twice daily. The itching, pain and infections are completely
gone. I no longer use my antibiotic ear drops, and my visits
to the ear doctor are now rare. I am what you call an expert
in ear infections,
and I KNOW for a fact that this works!!! If I had just put two
drops of plain water in my ear, I would have a major ear
infection the next day.....so this stuff really works. My mom
also has the same defective ear canal, and now she is off the
antibiotic drops as well. My ear doctor asked me why he is
seeing me less and less now. I told him about the CS and he
smiled and just nodded his head. He has heard of this product
for sure!
Thank You for putting this wonder product out there!

I recently ordered colloidal silver. I had an ear
ache so I put a couple of drops in my ear that
night. It was about 90% cleared up the next morning. I
couldn't believe how fast it had improved. I have had trouble
with this ear for awhile.

Over the super-bowl weekend, I felt an earache coming on in my
left ear. Slowly it was turning into a bad sore throat. I went
to bed Sunday night knowing that I wouldn't be able to go to
work the next morning. Sure enough I woke up Monday morning
with the worst sore throat I've ever had. So, after calling in
sick, I got on my computer and typed "earache and sore
throat remedies" into the search engine. Low and behold
your "Utopia Silver" site popped up. I'm surprised
I've never heard of colloidal silver before, because I am a
true believer in vitamin, herbal, and mineral supplements.
I
read all of the testimonials on your site...and decided I had
to try it. The trouble was that it would take a few days to
order the stuff from you and I needed a fix for my sore throat
now. So, while chilled, running a fever, and in misery from
the sore throat I headed to the nearest health food store.
I
really didn't expect them to have colloidal silver, but
fortunately they had one last bottle. When I got home, I took
one teaspoon and put several drops in my ears and nose. I
continued doing this every three hours until I went to bed.
I'll have to say I was miserable. and hardly slept all night.
I continued with the drops every couple of hours and I noticed
my throat felt like there was a rag stuffed in it, but now I
believe it was the colloidal silver doing it's work. By the
time 6:30 AM came around, I was still feeling pretty bad and
called in sick again a second time.
When I got up at about 8 o'clock, I noticed that my throat was
still sore, but suddenly not nearly as bad. I continued the
drops...and by mid morning realized the sore throat and
earache were completely gone!
This
stuff is like a miracle!!!! My daughter has had chronic sinus
problems for nearly 15 years...and I can't wait to tell her
about colloidal silver.
Thank
You, RR...Plymouth, Indiana

I
had a HORRIBLE ear infection last week. It was so
bad that it also was giving me a severe migraine! I took
Colloidal Silver for the first time in hopes that it would
help me- though I might add, I was very doubtful! I was in so
much pain, so I took about 3 gulps (I didn't measure it, I
just drank it right out of the bottle) that day. By the very
next morning (not even 24 hours) all the pain & the ear
infection was completely
gone! I was and still am totally surprised! It has been a week
now and none of the symptoms have come back at all. So
needless to say, I WILL be taking Colloidal Silver from now
on.
