Do not start dispensing antibiotics unless you know what you're doing.

The advice to give cephalexin for ear infections is bad, seeing as lot of of the primary pathogens that affect ears will not be affected by cephalexin (e.g., Pseudomonas aeruginosa).

A diluted solution of tea tree oil is good advice, and if you're going to do an irrigation, then treatment with 1-2% acetic acid preparations, and/or colistin/neomycin drops are also effective.

Just make sure the problem you have isn't MITES ...
