Answer 1

Use Colloidal silver, as an ear wash, it can be taken orally too. This is a natural antibiotic.

Take Vitamin C to help boost the immune system and fight infection.

Zinc is also helpful in reducing ear infection.

If the infection has just begun take echinacea (alcohol free).

Eat a healthy diet with lots of calcium in it. Avoid processed foods and hydrogenated oils. Stress on breast feeding for infection in infants.

Mix lobelia and garlic oil or olive oil, place a few drops in the ear and plug it with cotton this will help with pain.

Put few drops of garlic juice into the infected ear. Use blow dryer from about 12 to 15 inches from your head, this will remove any water trapped in the Eustachian tube. Put some olive oil on the warm spoon; put 2 to 3 drops of this in each ear. Put few drops of lobelia extract into the infected ear and rub it gently. Wash your ear using colloidal silver, it is a natural antibiotic. Slightly warm one teaspoon of juice of the mango leaf and put it into the infected ear drop by drop.

Avoid going in front of any one smoking because cigarette smoke can block Eustachian tubes. Avoid accompanying people suffering from cold. Wash your hands regularly. Avoid touching nose and eyes.

Pour 2-3 drops of garlic juice into the infected ear. Lay down on the other side for easy penetration. This gives relief in ear pain and infection.

Using ear dropper, put 2-3 drops of basil (tulsi leaves) in the infected ear. This is an effective home remedy for ear infections and aches.

Grind mango leaves and boil it. Put 2-3 drops of lukewarm mango leaves extract in the paining and infected area. This is an effective and natural home remedy for ear infections and aches.

Lobelia herb is an effective medicine to cure ear infections and aches. Take few drops of this extract and put it into the ear through a dropper.

Applying onion juice also relieves ear infections and pain.

Applying warm-heat using pads over infected and aching ear gives comfort. Warm cloth containing boiled garlic pieces or warm onion pieces when gently positioned over paining ear gives relief from ear aches.

Few drops of olive oil can clear the obstruction in Eustachian tube. By using olive oil earwax is easily moved out of ear.

Mineral oils are good for curing ear infection. Put few drops of mineral oil which is natural and cause no allergies to the infected ear. It is effective and prevents ear infection caused due to contaminated water.

1-2 drops of alcohol or hydrogen peroxide gives relief on ear infections and aches. Keep it for 2-3 minutes in the infected and paining ear and then evacuate it by keeping the head down. Idea is to keep Eustachian tubes clear this is a tube joining ear and throat.

Mixture of warm olive oil and few pieces of garlic provides relief in ear infections and aches.

Biting and chewing soft nutritional foods with the teeth or taking sips of warm vegetable soups also soothes ear aches.

You can prevent most ear infections and aches by keeping ears and surrounding ears dry and clean using ear buds and keeping the ears dry using soft cotton fabrics.
Cover the outer layer of ear using cotton, as it prevents your ear from various air and water-borne ear infections and aches, by acting as a safe coverage to the ear.

Answer 2

You need to know if you have an inner or an outer ear infection. To my knowledge, only antibiotics really work.

However, you can practice some prevenative measures.
After swimming, put a couple of drops of a 50/50 mixture
of alcohol and vineagar in your ear. This will help prevent bacterial infections. Sometimes an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

If you’re an adult and you happen to have an earache, try applying a warm washcloth or a heating pad next to your ear. You can also try the cold therapy method by applying a cold compress or ice bag next to your ear for 20 minutes. Be sure to take a pain reliever, such as an acetaminophen, aspirin, or Motrin (ibuprofen) to help with the pain and reduce inflammation. Benedryl sometimes helps. If nothing works, seek medical attention.

Answer 3

Yes. I know it sounds crazy, but I recently got rid of an ear infection this way. If you have any old-time shops around there, or those natural medication shops that only use herbs and stuff, you can find Ear Candles. Basically they look like a rolled up tube, and you put the pointed end in your ear and light the other end. The heat pulls all of the ear wax and infection out of your ear. You can even see the infection that came out (it's chunky and white). It's very safe if you do it correctly.

Answer 4

You should never put ANYTHING in your ear unless the doctor tells you to. You're liable to make the infection worse. And if you let the infection go without getting it treated by a doctor, you risk rupturing your eardrum and damaging your hearing. If it hurts badly, take tylenol or motrin and hold a warm washcloth against it and get to the doctor!

Answer 5

i am not recommending this but it is something i was told years ago....put honey in your ear and have somebody blow cigarette smoke into it. my friend swore it worked. i would never try it though and i dont suggest u do either. i think they do sell some drops at the store. the drops that are not otc are called cortosporin ear drops. for pain try anything i dont think it will work but maybe some motrin. u have to get rid of the infection.

Answer 6

One surefire was is to cut off the ear and let it bleed out, drink the blood, regurgitate the blood, mix it with ginger and thyme, put in a 24 foot corncob pipe and inhale deeply.

There is a reason ear treatments use antibiotics, because they are the most effective. Shell out the cash if you want the pain to go away.

DO NOT USE COLLOIDAL SILVER OR EAR CANDLES.

Answer 7

You should go to the doctor and be put on antibiotics!!! Putting more moisture in your ear i.e. oils or liquids that are not meant for drying up infection is only going to give your ear a more aggressive and moist breeding ground to create more infection. Bacteria thrive in moist areas..think about that.

Answer 8

Don't take antibiotics until their is visible puss. People don't die from ear infections. They die from secondary issues. Your body is a machine and usually heals its self. If you see puss go to the doctor. Garlic oil w/ mullein flowers dropped ( with a dropper) in to you ear will do the trick with in 2 days at the most.

Answer 9

orr
you put a certain type of oil in your ear and out a cotton ball in your ear and lay on the opposite side when you lay down that the oil can go ino you ear

Answer 10

Generally doctors prescribe antibiotics, but they aren't always necessary. Take paracetamol (as long as they are safe for you) four hourly.

Good luck - its a horrid pain.
