Food allergies can play a major role in ear infections, so anyone who suffers frequent ear infections should be tested. The most common allergenic foods include wheat, dairy, oranges, corn, peanut butter,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.
