Suggestions for good food for ear infection?

I'm on all of day 9 of 100% raw and had the great fortune of catching my daughter's cough/cold/crud plus have an ear infection. I cannot even think of what I should eat - nothing sounds good and I even tried pretzels - which tasted like dirt.

Any help would be appreciated I'm officially desperate.
Thanks!

When you have an active infection the best thing is to take fruits or fruit or vegetable juices for easy digestion. Then all the energy can go to the healing of the body. You could also take a herbal tea, like raspberry leaf tea is a good one in this case.
For the ear itself, you can drop garlic-oil into the ear. Garlic is the best for bacterial or viral infections. You can easily make it yourself, just chop up the garlic, cover it with olive oil, and let it stand for 3 days, then strain and use. For emergencies, if you have nothing else on hand you can put half an onion on the affected ear, and leave it there overnight.
Hope this does not come too late...

There isn't really a specific food that cures anything, as our bodies do the curing/healing, although there are a number of natural ear drops that can be found at the health food store which may help to offer some relief.

Hope you feel better!
