7 mth year old - ear infection/teething

Our baby boy started his first ear infection at approx 5 1/2 mths. We did not initially realise it but this appears to be part of his teething process. He began with a cold and phlegmy chesty sounding cough with clear mucus coming from his nose. I noticed in the afternoon that his ear wax was wet and coming out of his left ear, almost as if it had been heated up in his ear. I asked our doctor whether he required medication and he advised not, just to clean it. I have a personal history of ear infections when I was teething and during childhood and I was wary of his advice. SUre enough the next day the discharge had turned green and creamy/thick. It dried crustily. My son was prescribed amoxycillin which I reluctantly used. He had a 7 day course and was free of it for a week. It then returned in the same ear (left) and I asked for ear drops (chloroamphenicol). This works better but the ear infection seems to happen everytime he teeths. We went away to MAlaysia for 2 wks and he was completely clear of it. The longest period since he started them. We have been back in the UK for 2 weeks and he has just got the infection back again in his right ear. He now has a white of his first tooth about to break through. My main concern is prolonged oinfections causing damage to his ear. He is majority breast fed only has 1 formula feed at 7pm before going to bed. He has had this from 3 months. He is weaned and takes 3 solid meals a day, no allergies discovered to date. He was on the verge of being a colicky baby but this stopped at 4 mths. Needed very good burping! Always spits up a bit of breastfeed after eating eithout fail! MAnages to get me but not himself!
Could someone please give me remedy ideas as I am reluctant to go the 'traditional route'. Don't trust my doc much either. I have regular acupunturewhich i had during my pregnancy and am also considering this for him too. Any advice gratefully received.

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
Most ear infections happen when septum is deviated. In that case water stayes in one ear during bathing. Due to moisture first fungus comes and then bacteria.

Solution: After bathing him dry child's ears with dryer. Mix rubbing alcohol (or any whisky) with equal part of vinegar. Put few drops in the ears. Vinegar is antifungal and alcohol is to dry up the ears.

Mostly I use Tellurium on repeated ear infections/eczema cases but if there is Pus in that case try Calcarea Sulphurica 3X and read the post:
