other than sweet oil what is the best home remedy for ear aches?

Answer 1

Three to five drops of the warmed oil extract of mullein flowers (Verbascum thapsus), garlic (Allium sativa), or St. John’s wort (Hypericum perforatum), or a combination of any of the three should be placed into the affected ear. The oil of Calendula officinalis may be used in the same manner. If there is a persistent ear infection, goldenseal (Hydrastis canadensis) salve or tincture can be placed directly onto the outer ear or into the ear canal three to four times per day. Glycerin can be introduced into the ear if it is suspected that excessive earwax or water in the ear is causing the problem.

Answer 2

My Doctor recommended Hydrogen Peroxide topical Solution, and it did the job great for me.
I just used a q-tip and cleaned the ear, it took a few days, but really help mine. Hope it works for you too, I know what it feels like, and it's no fun at all.

Answer 3

heat is good for the ear...but never stick anything in ur ear smaller than ur elbow. peroxide can remove earwax but earwax is good in the ear because it protects the eardrum. u really need to see a dr. when u have pain or if something abnormal is happening its ur body telling u something is not right....thats when u should go see ur dr.

Answer 4

Try using the heat from a blowdryer it really does work. Make sure you don't put it too close to the ear, you don't want to get burned.

Answer 5

first, chew a wad of gum, that helps. apply a warm hair dryer 18-20 inches away from the ear and low the heat in. it works.

Answer 6

Laying on a heating pad, ear down.

Answer 7

use a mixture of half and half alcohol and hydrogen peroxide
