hello and welcome to health care magic,
There is no problem in taking any natural medications but I would still advice you to take a proper antibiotic and see a good ENT specialist so that a cure can be obtained. If you do not treat an ear infection actively in this age then there is a risk of it causing permanent damage.
In any case you can also try the alternative medicine section of our website where a proper instruction on your roots extract can be obtained.
Hope this helps
regards
