42 Home Remedies for Ear infection

Peroxide

Elevate your head on pillows, infected ear up. Use a dropper, a straw, or just the cap, and pour Hydrogen Peroxide into your ear. After it stops bubbling, turn over onto a towel or washcloth. When you sleep sleep with the infected ear up. You can also take a pain reliever such as Ibuprofen to help with the pain.

Cup of tea

Just woke up after a long night of my ear hurting and had a cup of tea. I found that it took some of the pain away before I could attend the doctors. Just incase anyone needs a quick solution.

Urine

I have the worst ear infection I have ever had. My ear is all swelling and the Tylenol only works for like 2 hours. So my parents told me to try putting urine in my ear. That night I put 2 drops of my own urine in my ear and I went to bed as soon as I laid down. You might think it is super gross but it works. It soothes my ear when it hurts so I put more urine in my ear every time it starts to hurt.

(2) drops of urine
Then after you are down tilt your head over to get most of it out
it takes about 10 minutes
Then take warm water and rinse it out
I hope this works for you.

Apply heat

My mother always used peroxide for ear infection when I was a child and it always worked. It was always an instant relief. As an adult I still use it today for my kids ear infections and also for my own ear problems. Here is a HELPFUL HINT for everyone that I did not see in any of the other postings.

For a heat source I use the disposable Hand/Foot Warmers that my husband (who works outdoors) uses during the winter to keep his hands/feet warm. They stay warm for 8+ hours and are the perfect size to place over your ear. They are available at Wal-Mart etc. Usually located in the outdoors/hunting area. Hope this hint helps.

Sleep.

Sleep with your infected ear facing up and your un infected ear pointed down. When you wake up, you should feel like its forcing it's way out. Try and sleep as much as you can and do that. It should work.
