I recommend you go to the doctor.. While you wait though..there exist over-the-counter (OTC) remedies and medications that can alleviate the pain and symptoms of an ear infection, there are no OTC measures that kill the bacteria in the middle ear space that actually cause the infection. The "feel better" measures that work the best are oral pain medications like acetaminophen (Tylenol) or oral pain/antiinflammatory medications, like ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin). Topical anesthetic drops are also available that are applied into the ear canal and basically numb the inflamed ear drum from the outside. But since the infection is caused by bacteria in the middle ear space on the other side of the eardrum, nothing applied externally can help kill the bacteria through the intact eardrum.

Use an antiseptic like the only which Band-help makes (is available in a clean, gentle blue bottle (it is superb by using fact it has an anaesthetic in it too.). Squirt some on the studs and (wash your arms first) wiggle them around and turn them. eliminate any crusty stuff. do no longer rinse the antiseptic off with water. additionally, warm-p.c.. the ear a number of cases an afternoon (usually). Soak a clean wash cloth in heat-warm faucet water and carry it on the ear lobe - which will help your physique combat the an infection. you is in basic terms no longer getting them stretched in a week. they could heal thoroughly (weeks-months), and stay that way for a mutually as (few extra months) until eventually now they're going to tolerate stretching. in any different case, you will in basic terms be tearing a bigger hollow on your earlobe (extra infections and unsightly scars). Oh yeah, do no longer take them out anymore, the two. until eventually the an infection tutor no signs and indications of letting up in some days - then it's time to work out a rfile. do no longer USE ALCOHOL! All it does is harm and kill your cells - those you're attempting to get to heal over. under no circumstances positioned alcohol in a cut back to disinfect it. additionally, clean discrarge=ok, white discharge=an infection.

If it is the outer ear that is infected, I think you can dilute hydrogen peroxide about 2 water to 1 peroxide, and pour that in your ear. Hot shower, alternating with an ice water soaked washcloth to the ear will increase circulation to the area to help fight the infection. Two minutes hot, 30 seconds of cold (more or less) alternate 3-5 times.

Start yelling at it and generally just being really demeaning towards it. Tell it how good it coulda been if it would only stop hurting and act right. You know stuff like that. If that doesn't work then go to the doctor and get some antibiotics for it. Really if you start yelling at your ear people will think your crazy. Don't take my first bit of advice seriously. LOL

It's an INFECTION. That means that you will almost certainly need antibiotics, and you can only get those by prescription. Besides, you need to be given the right ones.
Just see your doctor.

If you cant afford the doctor , call him anyway, he may treat you for free, or try a school nurse. They should know how to get you the help you need.
