Do you have reflux?? The fluid can get in your ears, esp. if you are refluxing in your sleep.
I have very bad acid reflux it is uncontrolable. I didnt know that could cause ear infections is there something you think of that can make it controlable at lest at night i already take a pill at bedtime 1 or 2 tums and hr or two before bed plus i take a pill soon as i get up
Here is something my grandmother would do for us. get some brown listerine an cotton swabs , wash your mouth an throat out with listerine spit it out the little that left swallow it .take a cotton swab an put it in the listerine an swab your ear with it .it kills 99% of germs do it three times a day for 3 days an it will go away .my grandmother did it to us i did it to my kids an my kids are doing it to there kids. it helps the pain as well.
If you get the reflux under control the ear infections should be minimal or gone. How is your diet...diet can cause problems with reflux.
* Avoid food and drink that affect esophagus pressure, such as alcohol, citrus juices, chocolate and fried foods.
* Lose weight if you are overweight
* Do not lie down two to three hours after eating.
* Take an antacid (as prescribed by a medical professional)
