Answer
Hi - Yes, I can help your kids.... How about you use the ear cleaner every day for about 1 week.  Also, get a package of " baby wipes" and use them to help clean the outer ear areas...
Also, I would love to see you place your kids onto some supplements.
This will help to get rid of the excess Yeast bacteria that seems to be in the ears...

Now, yogurt is helpful but this is better:  A Probiotic mixed into the food 1 x per day for about 1 month.

Big kid needs 3 per day.
Little one needs just 1 per day.

Wonderful to get rid of Yeast...
