Put the vinegar in one ear and leave it for about five minutes before turning that ear down in order to drain the vinegar solution. Repeat this twice a day for three days. If the symptoms worsen or persist for over three days, prescription antibiotic drops may be necessary. This is true even if a child has ear tubes . Another summer consideration is protection from the sun's rays.
Sunglasses protect children's eyes from the UV rays and decrease the risk of cataracts in adulthood.
Be especially careful if you are around water, sand, snow, or any surface that will reflect and therefore intensify the sun's rays. And remember, the suns ray's are more intense the higher you get in elevation. When purchasing sunscreen, select a PABA-free brand with an SPF of 15 or greater. In general, infants' skin is much thinner and more sensitive to the sun than adults' skin, even in individuals with darker complexion. The amount of sunscreen needed depends on how light the complexion of the child, but I would recommend using sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or greater for very fair-skinned children.
