Food allergies can play a major role in ear infections and it is strongly recommended that kids or anyone who suffer frequent ear infections be tested for food allergies. Some of the most common allergenic foods include wheat, dairy, oranges, corn, peanut butter and simple carbohydrates like sugar, fruit and fruit juices. Sugar contributes to a suppressed immune system and also, kids with parents who smoke are also more likely to develop ear infections.
Also, many people who have chronic ear infections (especially children) have been found to have an imbalance in their intestinal flora but this can be corrected by taking acidophilus tablets or by eating yogurt that contains "friendly" bacteria.
Echinacea, Vitamin C and zinc can help get you back on the road to recovery.
