Home >> Earache
Dr. Oz from TV says to put a few drops of Hydrogen Peroxide into the ear canel. If it bubbles then you have an ear infection. Wash the ear out with a bit of warm water. If you do show signs of an infection see a doctor. For ear pain place a rather warm hot water bottle on the pillow and lay down on the bottle so the ear can drain if need be. Once the ear starts to get relief hold your nose and blow to make it pop if it will. Continue the hot water bottle and if prescribed antibiotics.
Also warmed campher drop will help relieve the pain. It seems like warmth is the best for ear pain in all cases.
It helps ear pain also if you make it a practice to wash out your sinuses with warm saline water. Get shringe at drug stores everywhere.
(1)First I took some rice(some people use salt) (2) put it in a bowl and put it in the microwave until fully heated.
(3)got 2 small socks(u can use any sock as long as its clean).
(4)poured the warm rice in the socks
(5) Tied a double knot
(6) took my hat(fitted huddy or toe boggin) and made it snug on my head
(7) then i stuffed the socks on both sides of my ears..making sure there were not too hot..making sure they wouldnt drop out(thats the reason for a snug fitted hat or bandanna)
THIS ALLOWED ME FREEDOM TO WALK AROUND MY HOUSE AND GET THINGS DONE WITH BOTH HANDS AND NOT HAVE TO HOLD THEM TO MY EARS. OR YOU CAN MAKE YOUR OWN CREATIVE IDEA FOR HOLDING THEM IN PLACE I EVEN SLEPT LIKE THIS ON MY BACK WITH MY HEAD PROPPED IN A COMFORTABLE POSITION SO THE FLUID COULD DRAIN PROPERLY..THE HEAT ABSORBS THE FLUID AND HELP CIRCULATION ON EARS. IT SOOTHES THE PAIN. ALSO TRY SITTING AND RELAXIN WHILE SIPPING A HOT LIQUID WHILE THE SOCKS ARE ON YOUR EARS..ITS CALMS YOUR BODY..WHEN RELAXED YOUR BODY CAN HEAL PROPERLY AND QUICKER
At the first sign of ear ache, use an eye dropper to add about 20 drops of ordinary over the counter hydrogen peroxide to your ear, let if fizz for 10-20 minutes. I use a bulb to squirt it out, or if in pain, just let it drain by turning the head sideways- then at your next shower, 3 hrs or later, the pain should be gone, just rinse with the shower head.
Weird as it sounds, I took one of those heating pads people stick on their backs or wherever and held it to my ear, that took care of most of the ear pain. But my throat up near my ear...kind of where they meet, was also hurting so i drank like 2 packets of theraflu and BAM now my throat feels fine, there's no pain but it kinda feels like my ear is still clogged. I figure a few more hours and it should be cleared up. The cloggy feeling kinda sucks but the pain is completely gone, I was minutes away from cutting my ear off before I decided to try the heat pad thingy. I hope this works for you!
OK I have seriously tried every remedie that was listed here and none of them worked. So my mum suggested using deep heat cream and a hot face cloth on the sore ear. Leave it on there until the pain starts to go away.
I am writing this while I have a sore ear and I am using my suggestion..it seems to be working for me so hopefully it works for u too..if it doesn't just go back to using ear drops or peeing in a cup lol
GOOD LUCK :)
Chop up onion and put in moist towel then heat it up in microwave till warm then lay bad ear up and put towel with onion inside on ear works every time, grandmas remedies.
I Have an ear ache really bad and when I was a kid my granny use to put a hot rag on my ears. So I made me a rice sock and heating it up and it really works well for me.
As Jaime said prviously, it works. I am dying here with an earache caused by a cold. I mada a v with my index and middle finger and rubbed behind my ear and in front of it up and down 100 times. She said 36, but my ear was cracking so well that I kept going.
Heat Salt in a skillet put in a sock and place on your ear .. This normally works very well and the salt hold heat for a long time ...
OK right when I was 8 yrs old I had this earache hurting so bad the only remedy I thought was death. But my mum heated my hot-water bottle and put it against my ear and after five minutes the pain was gone and after 2 days I went to the doctors to see if I did have an infection, and I didn't so I say HAH! to all the people who say it just causes infection.
It depends on the earache and how you got it but usually I just try to relieve the pressure. When I was little my parents would blow smoke in my ears, or pour some kind of cooking oil. Didn't really matter what kind. I also chew on something pretty firm, a hardened piece of gum, rubber or plastic. Putting a warm cloth over your ear may help too. Good luck.
Lightly warm up a few drops of virgin olive oil. Drop into hurting ear with a droppper or you can use Q-tips to put olive oil into the ear. Be careful to not puncture ear drum.
Never put hydrogen proxide in your ears, it will dry out the ear canal per a nurse friend of mine.
Put some vinegar on a qtip and gently tickle inside your ear with the qtip dont insert qtip deep just right outside your ear drum..it works wonders and my earache was gone
I'm 13 big deal I told my doctor he said urine is all it takes l.o.l My earache hurt so bad I did it and it works, pee in cup and apply to ear. I had a earache for 4 days, I did it and it works. My friend teased me and told everyone at school big deal it works.
Try water & hydrogen peroxide, mix it use an eye dropper and put a few drops in your ear.
