ok, seeing a doctor is out of the question, my husband doesn't have coverage, so keep your comments to yourself. thanks. I need to know how to make my husbands ear feel better. any homemade ideas? I've been told to use oil drops but I don't know what kind of oil to use. Can I use just normal canola oil, or should I just go out and buy a certain brand? He doesn't have a fever and he's been taking pain killers all day but doesn't seem to be working. any suggestions is greatly appreciated.

My Son gets ear infections and we use sweet oil,warm the bottle up a little and dab a q-tip in it and drop a few drops in his ear.I have a co worker who had chronic ear aches and he used peroxide he put a bit in the cap and poured it in his ear and it would bubble up and clean his ear out Great.you can ask your local pharmacist also and they will give you some advice.

The type of oil your looking for is olive oil. It works best because it is heavier and thicker. Warm the oil slowly in the microwave. Be sure it is only warm. Use an eyedroper or just slowly pour a little bit in the ear. Use a tissue to wipe up any excess. Keep a warm dry towel close to the ear.

He might have middle ear infection , has more wax than it needs to be ,or it might has water.
Try to buy ear wax removal or something called
Swim-Ear (Ear water-Drying Aid.
Best wishes & feel better
