Do you think that milk causes ear infections?


My son is 2 and has had four or five ear infections since he was born. We just switched to soy milk to see if that will make a difference. He's been drinking it for 1 1/2 weeks, and he hasn't been pulling at his ears to indicate there is any pain.

Congratulations. Looks like you figured it out yourself. Different people react differently to milk. Some get allergic reactions. Some are milk intolerant. Sometimes milk doesn't directly cause ear infections, but may cause other effects such as mucus buildup, sinus congestion, or allergic reactions. But the worse effect is to affect your son's immunity response such that your son's immune system is not strong enough to fight the ear infection. But it looks like the switch to soy milk did the job. For now anyway.....

small tube creates ear infections no dairy. the ears cant drain. dairy may make this worse because it causes congestion with prohibits drainage but it is not the cause

Cows milk causes the mucus membranes to become inflamed in most people and mucus becomes thick and clogs the Eustachian tubes, which causes ear infections.
