My son is eight years old and has had multiple ear infections throughout his life. He also has asthma, but it only comes when he has a cold or virus or upper respiratory infection. I took him to an allergist and he does have allergies to pollens, molds, and roaches. He has been given oral steroids multiple times now due to the severity of these asthma attacks. I recently had him to a ENT doctor and he quickly suggested adenoid removal and tubes in the ears. I didn't have either one of these done. I would rather take a natural, holistic approach to this rather than put him through surgery. What i wanted to know is if there are natural ways to drain the ears. And also, do you think its the allergies that are most likely causing the ear infections and asthma.
