During the weeks that cold/flu was circulating in our house that I mentioned in my last post of 'Remedies', Sonia (age 3) complained that she had great pain in her ear one day. I immediately suspected that she had ear infection. I peeled a fresh clove of garlic and cut it in half, put it in the outer part of her ear and taped it in place. I explained to her that this garlic will make her pain go away. She understood and did a good job waiting! It sounds weird, but after maybe 3 hrs, the pain is totally gone!! That night, she complained that her other ear was very painful. I did the same thing and she went to sleep. The pain was totally gone in the next morning!
