For ear infections, apple cider vinegar can be used as an effective home remedy:

Use an ear syringe (found at drug stores) to squirt a vinegar solution into the ear and let it sit for a minute or so, then turn your head and let the liquid drain out.

The vinegar solution can be a 50/50 mixture of ACV and pure water, a 50/50 mixture of ACV and rubbing alcohol or a solution consisting of one-third vinegar, one-third pure water, and one-third rubbing alcohol.

Taking zinc and vitamin c can help to prevent and fight infection. Lobelia, echinacea and garlic are all natural antibiotics that can be used to help treat infections.
Mix lobelia and garlic oil or olive oil, place a few drops in the ear and plug it with cotton this will help with pain. You can also try using Colloidal silver as an ear wash.

Hello,
few months ago i have had a really bad ear infection. I had to take two courses of antibiotics….with the help of a kortizon in the end……i wasn't very happy cause i prefer natural remedies. Since then every time i get a bit of pain and a warm feeling in my ear i spray a natural remedy (anticeptic see water) but this time it insists for about five days now. It's not a sharp pain, it's more like a discomfort which causes a headache as well. Twoo weeks ago i had to treat tonsilitis with antibiotics again. Can you please recommend something natural to treat such infections and if possible prevent them?Thank you for your time.

Most of the natural remedies for sore throats are natural antibiotics that help with infections (cayenne pepper, garlic, apple cider vinegar, etc). Since your sister's sore throat is caused by rawness, something soothing, like yogurt might help. I would highly recommend visiting a herbalist in your area. A herbalist will be able recommend a remedy for her raw throat as well as something to help with the mucus build up, along with the proper dosage.
