Systemic antibiotics is good but often times as several posters said, they encapsulate infection (think bumblefoot) and the infection continues to thrive especially a staph, and the systemic antibiotic can have a hard time getting into the encapsulated area.
I think a gentle debride with swabs, and try not to push stuff in to his ear, and if possible irrigate with warm water/betadine solution ever so super gently so as not to blow goo into his head, but to make surre some solution gets in the area..and then applay neaosporin to the outside, and keep it open so it can heal from the inside out and not encapsulate again...debride and irrigate every day or so like bumblefoot, and watch for foreign matter suck as a straw or food particle that could have gotten in there.
Good Luck! He is a pretty fellow !

For everyone on here that's feeling under the weather...there is a really awesome tea that I found a couple of years ago that I just love. Naturally, I don't recall the brand, but it's called "throat coat" tea, and it actually WORKS!! It sooths a sore or scratchy throat. It's AWESOME!!!! There have been times when I can't drink ANYTHING else, and that tea always makes my throat feel better.

Hope you all are better soon!!!

It's beautiful, but there sure ain't much there! I lived there in 7th grade, and our middle school had 4 classrooms...one of which was the science room.

I have some throat Coat, It came in a seasonal herb tea sampler. The brand on this ine is Traditional Medicinals. In the same package I also have Echinacea plus, Gypsy cold care, and Breath easy... I would never go through a winter without my cold teas... Next best tea for soar throats is plain old mint tea with honey! Or lemon water with honey... At least thats what I have found.
Or if you have children who refuse to drink tea, give them hot Jello water! Any flavor, the jelatin coats the throat, and eases some of the scratchy painfull feeling. Plus it tastes nummy too! My mother taught my this trick, and she used it on all 5 of us kids.
But thank you for the tip!

Edited, because my brain isn't working properly...

Well, I have a recipe that I got from my Dad that he got out of the Campbell's Soup Cook Book (it is HIS coo book) that is outstanding and now sort of a Family Favorite.
It is the Chicken Enchaladas....You get a BIG bowl, and to it add: Cans of diced green chilis, several cans of Campbell's cream of chicken soup
Boned and diced cooked chicken or turkey meat..(left overs are perfect)
Canned sliced olives
A block of motzerella cheese, grated..
sliced green onions, diced yellow onions...trying to remember the rest.
At this point it looks alot like vomit in a bowl but smells great !
Need a pack of corn or flour torts, steam in the microwave to soften, and blob the goo inside
Roll up and place in a lightly oiled 9 x 13 and you may have some leftover for another pan.
I line my pans with sarn wrap, and after we fill with the enches we fold the sarn over the top and freeze, then the next day I remove the frozen ences from the pan and put in a freezer bag, big block of chicken enches...return to the same pan, removing saran wrap first, pour sauce over top and garnish with avacado, olives, green onion...have green salsa on hand and hot sauce.
The sauce is usually softened white cheese, dilute and make it like a white sauce (cheese, milk & a tsp or more of corn starch to thicken) or in the exact recipe I think they say to save some (or a can) of cream of chicken soup to ladle over the top of the enches...then cover with plastic wrap and micro wave or foil and bake until cheese is melty and eat !!!
We also do cilantro and a squeeze of lime over all...
The exact recipe is probably on the Campbell's soup web site..I cannot eat it anymore as all campbells soup has wheat, but I plan on getting a wheat free condensed soup and then trying it out...

Casseroles ! A truly American creation !!
Tater tot Surprise !!

I love casseroles, one of the best parts about church

I have to be careful eating any now that I did not cook myself, maybe wheat in them...but..look on the Canpbell's web site !
Get a bunch of left over stuff and make a layerd chicken or turkey or ham bake...I have used shrimp, and ham, layer it lasagna style with corn tortilla shell, with cheese, olives, green O , and tomatoes, diced green chili in betwix the tacos...you can microwave these too !
You can freeze half, and save half to eat...or you can portion 2 enchiladas per container and freeze. When hungry, yank one out of the freezer and microwave with some spainish rice or refers for a dinner, or a handful or baby greens for lunch., I Love refer beans, too, simple food.
Sticks to the ribs !!!

And add as much hot sauce as to warm you up !!!
I have corn torts in the refridgerator always !!!
It is my 'bread'
Well I am all tuckerd out and cold so going back to bed~~~
