xp helping fight infection w/o antibiotics

i posted this in parenting initially and someone suggested i post it here.

my dd just finished a round of antibiotics last wednesday for an ear and sinus infection. it was the second time in her life that she's ever been on them as i think they're the devil which my pedi agrees with. lol.

last night she was up all night again and is showing symptoms of a sinus infection again. i really don't want to put her through a second round of antibiotics which i'm sure my pedi will agree with. i'm going to wait it out for a few days and see if her immune system does its job on its own then make a sick visit to the pedi towards the end of the week if she isn't getting better or earlier if she takes a turn for the worse.

in the meantime, any tips on stuff i can give her to help. i really don't want to do another dose of antibiotics again.

    I don't know.  I haven't done any natural remedies...   Though I'm not a huge fan of overusing anti-biotics, I do use them when needed.  DD has been on them twice.  Once for pnemonia and once for an eye infection when she was 3

    Probiotics and a strong immune system as preventative measures are key. 

    Looks for ways to add beneficial bacteria cultures into your family diet. Yogurt is usually the most accessible,  but you can eat raw milk products, raw honey

    Well, if she's congested, steam is helpful. Put her in the room while you shower. Get a cold air humidifier for at n

    Steam, humidifier, saline drops. The moisture will help open things up even if she's just starting to congest, and the drops to loosen up stuff that's building up.

     Also, you can do aromatherapy with Cedar to open up the airways, and lemong
