My two sons get terrible ear infections regularly. Recurrent ear infections are also common, affecting 10 - 20 per cent of children within the first year of life. St John's Wort has an impressive array of validated actions that can assist with ear infections: It is analgesic, anti-bacterial, anti-viral and a mild sedative. If ear infections become recurrent, it is important to address the underlying causes. I hope this has given some insight into the natural management of both acute and recurrent ear infections.
