Proper feeding position (never bottle while lying flat, hold at 45-degree angle), limit or eliminate pacifier use especially after 6 months, avoid second-hand smoke exposure completely, address environmental allergens (dust, mold, pet dander), humidifier in bedroom especially winter months, nasal irrigation with saline, lymphatic drainage massage behind ears and down neck, craniosacral therapy or gentle chiropractic for eustachian tube drainage, limit daycare exposure if possible during acute phase, adequate sleep (immune system regenerates during sleep), breastfeed as long as possible (if mother eliminates allergens from diet).
