Treating and Preventing Ear Infections

Otitis Media with Effusion is another term for ear infection. Often considered a natural and inevitable occurrence in infants and child, ear infections cause discomfort and other unpleasant symptoms. However, you do not have to treat most ear infection with antibiotics, which happens to be a common practice.

Treating ear infections with antibiotics is not necessary in up to 97% of cases. Overuse of antibiotics can reduce your natural resistance to many bacteria. Therefore, if you can avoid antibiotics, avoid them!

Ear infections are going to cause more discomfort at night or directly upon rising from a laying position. Most ear infections are caused by water buildup in the middle ear. This means that when your child changes positions, your child is disturbing that water level within the ear.

So how can you avoid and/or treat ear infections?

First, if you do not know the severity of the ear infection, you should always err on the side of caution and take your child to his or her doctor or caregiver. However, just because your child tugs at his or her ear does not mean your child has an infection. If your child has a fever, visit your doctor immediately.

Never stick anything in the ear. This means anything. No bobby pins, paper, or even cotton swabs. While you may be thinking that you are cleaning the ear, you are actually pushing that waxy buildup further into the ear – not a good thing!

If you use an ear rinse, be sure you are instructed by your physician on how to use that ear rinse.

Keep ears warm in the winter with a cap or little ear muffs – how cute!

Aromatherapy for Kids

While aromatherapy is a wondrous addition to any life, kids sometimes need something different to ensure they are safe. There is aromatherapy for kids specifically designed for youngsters, but sometimes, you will find that you can use what you use regularly – just at a different dose.

But knowing how to get the best aromatherapy for kids does not have to be difficult or time consuming. In fact, you will find that aromatherapy specifically designed for kids can be quite pricey. The truth is that you can generally find cost effective, organic aromatherapy or essential oils for kids that is inexpensive and completely safe.

Aromatherapy can start with massage oils. Massaging a child regardless of the age is soothing. Massage builds that bond between parent and child. Using high quality, safe massage oils means knowing what you can trust when it comes to essential oils.

While Kelly’s Health has a line of essential oils for kids, you will find that you can generally utilize simple essential oils or aromatherapy you already have in the home.

Tea tree oil is an amazing antiseptic and so much more. Tea tree oil can be mixed with eucalyptus oil for an amazing decongest when added to a mister or humidifier. However, you will find putting tea tree oil directly on a scrape or cut will clear that wound up quickly.

There are combination essential oils that make exceptional baby rash preventatives and cures as well. You can depend on many of nature’s gifts to ensure your infant, child, or youngster is treated organically and naturally avoiding the need for antibiotics at a later date.

Kelly’s Health does suggest you test ALL essential oils on a small part of the child before applying directly to wounds. Some children are sensitive or allergic to things that we as adults would not consider. Always side with caution!

Healthy Snacks for Kids & Adults

Why is it that the foods we love are referred to as “bad” snacking choices? Why couldn’t carrots and celery taste more like chocolate cake? Why can’t chocolate cake be a good part of a rounded, healthy lifestyle? The truth is that when we want healthy snacks for kids and adults, we usually think green and/or grainy. But the truth is that there are healthy snacks for kids and adults that taste as delicious as they are healthy.

The trick is often that once we know it is healthier for us… we tend to turn up our nose. This is especially true of children! That means finding alternative healthy snacks for kids and adults that taste “naughty” while actually being a smart choice.

Here are a few of my favorite healthy snacks. Great for kids and adults alike!

Ants on a Log

Spread some all-natural peanut butter on a piece of celery. Top with a few raisins. If you have a finicky child or are not fond of raisins yourself, why not try gummy bears or a couple chocolate chips?

Happy Trail Mix

Making your own trail mix is a great idea. You will control the ingredients and additives! Plus, you will find that this is a lot easier to take on the go than other snacking solutions. Combine 1-cup of whole-grain cereal that has some size to it like Chex, mix in ¼ cup of a favorite unsalted nut such as walnut, pecan, or cashew, and add in ¼ cup of a favorite dried fruit such as raisins or cranberries.

Healthy Ice Pops

Freeze some fresh, unsweetened juice (100% juice NOT juice cocktail) in ice cube trays or ice pop molds. This is super yummy! You can serve the healthy ice pops from the ice pop molds immediately when ready, and make a slushy with a blender and the ice cube tray frozen juice treats.
