you don't use peroxide for an earache, you use it to clean out the wax, and a very weak solution of peroxide at that. But there are products you can buy that comes with directions, solution and a bulb thing you put the solution in.
What is your earache caused from? noise? did you stick something in there to clean your ear?
You can also have a nurse look at the ear and tell you what the problem is. Call your doctor's office and give them the details.
I wouldn't want you to hurt anything in there by doing it yourself.

the doc told my hubby to use it for built up ear wax!~~
try this for earache! I did find this in home remedy's
sooth an earache quickly, just use a hair dryer (on the low setting) and let the warm air soothe that ache "Just drip a few drops of peroxide into your ear. Then tip your head and let the peroxide drain out.

if you have an earache and spend alot of time in the water, or dont dry your ears out well after showering, you could have swimmers ear. an at home remedy for this is:
mix one tablespoon each of rubbing alchohal and white vineger. this rubbing alchohal dries out the ear and the white vineger kills the germs
if nothing helps, go to the doctor for antibiotics.

It's safe. Be cold tho. Use a small ball of cotton, not a q-tip.
Not sure that will relieve an ear ache.
When I was a kid, had lots of those. My mother warmed up some oil and it helped. NOT HOT.
NO, NOT MOTOR OIL!
A half teaspoon of olive oil my do, warmed.

It works great for getting water out of your ear after a shower or swimming. Cleans the wax out too.

Hydrogen peroxide can irritate the ear canal, so I wouldn't recommend it. You might want to see a doctor to make sure you don't have an infection that needs to be treated with antibiotics.

Yep, I do it all the time! Get a cotton ball, soak it in the paroxide, and let it drain into the ear while lying down. (Obviously, on your side with the cottonball ear facing up) :) - Hope your ear is better soon....DON'T PUT A Q-TIP IN IT FOR ANY REASON! :)

Yes but try to warm it up just a little bit first it makes a cool sound when it fizzes in your ear.
