Ear Infection

[dymeale]

Hello Everyone,
My boy seems to have an ear infection. It looks inflamed, red and crusty. I started the lavender oil on him as I saw that in multiple posts. How many times a day should I do that? When will I notice a difference? And should I be doing anything else to cure his infection?

I’ve used Zymox Otic before.

Hi there, your lavender oil, what brand is it? I usually mix it with fractionated coconut oil but…if it’s a bad infection I use it pure. I use DoTerra or Young Living 2 drops ABOVE the ear canal n not inside the ear canal. Oil will seep on its own. Once a day. Oil is powerful careful with it. Oil will bring up to the surface the guk from the ear so take the excess out.
