Warm oil I think works, slowly drop it in your ear. I can't promise anything though. Or a warm washcloth over it.

Stop!! Do Not put any liquid in your ear as you do not know if you have damaged your eardrum and whether or not you may have a pin hole.
Place a potato in the microwave for a few minutes wrap it in a towel and lay it on your ear the heat will help as well as some over the counter ibuprofen until you can be seen by a Dr. The pain of an earache always gets worse in the evening. A potato will hold heat for a reasonably long time if you do not have a heating pad or hot water bottle. I use potatoes on my daughter often when they have an ear infection or ache. It truly helps them so they can rest.
When you get to the Dr depending on how severe the problem he may prescribe you an antibiotic or he may tell you it will clear up on it's own in a few days.
Good Luck and I do hope you feel better! Please do not place any liquid in the ears until you know for sure you do not have any punctures. Although I have personally tried all the oil suggestions and they work great I only did it AFTER getting seen by the Dr.

How To Fix An Earache

2016-11-01 23:37:16 · answer #3 · answered by fleitman 4 · 0 0

A baked onions juice as ear drops (at night or when you don't have to go anywhere) because it is in the family of garlic which has curative qualities (you will need a shower in the morning). The headache example may help...Muscles get knots called trigger points. These make the muscles tight causing them to press on nerves and other thing.
Pain can be referred from places other than the head.
#1 The first thing is to take a couple swigs of molasses or eat a couple of bananas. They contain magnisium and potassium both of which muscles need.
#2 WATER she should be drinking 1/2 gallon minimum. The head of neurology at UCDavis likens a body running low on water to a car running low on oil (the engine can seize).
Get a good (deep tissue) massage (to loosen the trigger points) on the back, shoulders and neck. Make sure to press up at the base of the skull where it meets the spine.
You rub or lightly scratch everywhere on your head. You will hit spots that are tender these are trigger points. The idea is to rub across them 6-12 times per session up to six times per day until they go away.
For more information on trigger points read The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook by Davies.

For swimmer's ear, use a mixture of equal parts white vinegar and alcohol. Put two or three drops in each ear.

Some else my uncle did when I was a kid. He is a smoker. He would take a puff, and with a straw, he would blow smoke into my ear (don't poke the straw into the ear, just use it to direct the smoke), It dried things up and really helped.

Hot water bottle. If you don't have one a hot wet towel. If you have a seringe you can fill it with warm water and gently squirt it in your ear.

A heating pad would feel good otherwise you may need medication for an infection.

PLEASE SEE A EAR DOCTOR. THAT'S THE ONLY SURE WAY TO GET PROPERLY DIAGNOSED. IT COULD BE AN INFECTION THAT NEEDS TO BE TREATED. I'M TALKING FROM EXPERIENCE. I HAD EAR PAIN, BUT, INSTEAD OF SEEING A DOCTOR, I USED HOME REMEDIES THAT MADE THINGS WORSE. WHEN I FINALLY SAW THE DOCTOR, IT WAS AN INFECTION THAT NEEDED TREATMENT.

Buy sweet oil at the drug store. Put it on a cotton ball and in your ear. My mother did this.
