You can try using Oil of Garlic in your childs ears. The garlic will help to kill any infection in the ear, Lobelia tincture will help provide soothing relief from pain. Below is an excerpt from the book "Every Woman's Herbal" written by Dr. John R. Christopher and Cathy Gileadi.

EAR INFECTION
If your baby gets an ear infection, try home remedies before you take him or her to the doctor. Two drops of garlic oil followed by two drops of tincture of lobelia or Dr. Christopher's B&B tincture, plugged with a bit of cotton, often removes the pain and the congestion. You can rub the lymph glands below the ears with the same preparations, or with oil of mullein and lobelia. Ear infections can be a result of a systemic infection, or they can point to dietary problems, either allergies or too many mucus-forming foods in the other. Examine your own condition carefully when your baby gets sick. If the infection remains acute, take the baby to a doctor you trust. Even if you do not purchase the prescription he offers, he will be able to tell you the exact condition of the ears. Some parents have purchased earscopes with which they can examine their own children's ears.
