Of course, when he said "poured," he only meant a few drops. He said it was very soothing for pain, and the oil has slight antibacterial properties, which never hurts. Just make sure the oil is *warm* and not *hot*. You know, the baby bottle, inside of the wrist thing.<BR/><BR/>You don't mention exactly where this infection is. I don't know if this will do much good for an middle ear infection (i.e. behind the eardrum). But not many adults get those, so I'm guessing you've got one in the outer ear.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28663723.post-55122462847798063252009-03-11T10:48:00.000-05:002009-03-11T10:48:00.000-05:00On the ear infection.

Apply it to your ear for ten minutes. It gives great relief. What is up with this? You are there and I am here and we have ear infections this past week and you have ear infections. Um...this is a well traveled bug. I feel on the verge of death with a nasty chest cold. Hope all is well otherwise there!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28663723.post-72551192000259202052009-03-11T10:41:00.000-05:002009-03-11T10:41:00.000-05:00Glad to see that DH is getting more mature, and no...Glad to see that DH is getting more mature, and not older!
