You can use tea tree oil about 1-2 drops mixed with olive oil 10-15 drops. Put a drop or two into the ear and the pain will cease shortly and the ear infection will usually disappear also. Repeat as nessisary. I have a special needs child also and he used to get cronic ear infections. There are some other underlying causes of them also, contact me and I may be able to help more.

Use your blow dryer on the warm setting to blow air into your ear.  The air movement makes your ear feel cooler and gives the illusion that the pain is less.  There is also a new over-the-counter product available in drug stores that relieves earache pain.  It is called Similisan.  Check out their website at www.similasanusa.com.

go to a ear, nose, throat doctor, they can help.  and remember - DON'T stick anything in your ear that's smaller than your elbow unless a doctor tells you to (my mom always told me this!)

For a quick home remedy mix a solution of hydrogen peroxide and water. Half and half. Preferably warm, not hot or cold, water. Drop a few drops in and let it stand for about 15 minutes, then flush the ear out with just warm water while keeping your head tipped so it will drain out. Do this a couple times a day. Also, get to the store and get yourself an earwax removal kit. Do NOT use straight Hydrogen Peroxide, it will break down the lining that protects the ear. Good luck....

Pain is my friend.  Ibuprofen for muscle pain, Vicoden for moderate acute pain, Percocet for severe acute pain, Oxycontin if you have to take so much that the APAP ( Tylenol ) in Vicoden or Percocet makes your ears ring.  Combinations of the above are also available.   You have to sign a contract to get Oxy.  Morphine works too but it plugs you up.

I have no clue what that other answer is that someone gave you.  My answer to you is no.  Maybe you have an infected gland, a swollen gland, or an infected sinus.\nGo to the drug store and get the eardrops that are for ear aches.  It doesn't cost much and it works.  \nMeanwhile, just to be on the safe side, take a couple of motrin, and / or tylenol.  Make sure you're not running a temp.  If you're running a temp then you can be sure there's an infection brewing somewhere.  If all the above fails to help you, then call your doctor and be seen.\nHope you feel better.

If none of the above helps me, I take a small piece of a tissue, roll it so that it is like a thick needle (or a thin Q-tips..) and carefully put it into my ear. Be careful and very cautious as you could hurt yourself as it's quite sharp. But this usually sucks out the liquid well. You may have to repeat it two or three times depending on the amount.\nBut again, be very careful and gentle not to hurt your eardrum!!!

Steps \nTake a small bowl, and add some warm water. \nAdd an equal or slightly lesser amount of Hydrogen Peroxide. \nFill the ear syringe with this mixture. \nLie on your side, and insert a small amount of the mixture into the affected ear with the syringe. (unaffected side to the 'down side') \nRemain lying on your side for 5 to 15 minutes. You should be able to hear the Hydrogen Peroxide bubbling in your ear. \nWhen the bubbling sound stops, place the second small bowl under your ear, and turn your head to drain the ear into the bowl. \nRefill the syringe, and with the bowl under your ear, squirt the mixture into your ear with a slight amount of pressure. You should be able to feel the pressure from the liquid, but don't squeeze the syringe so hard that it causes pain. Repeat this step until you are out of the water/peroxide mixture. \n\n\n\nTips \nHeating the peroxide may help. Fill a sink with hot water, and place the bottle of peroxide in the hot water for a few minutes before performing preocedure. \nIt is best NOT to use a 'waterpic', or other mechanized water jet. If you cannot hear due to ear clog out of one or the other ear, it is best to see your health professional (a doctor, Nurse Practitioner or Physicians Assistant) at your local health clinic. \nWarnings \nDon't do this if you have experienced recent head trauma or air travel. \nThis procedure is intended to remove natural ear wax from ears. If there is a foreign object obstructing an ear, consult a doctor. \nPlacing cotton in your ear while lying on your side may help to prevent spills. (Never force the cotton into the ear canal, just 'snug' it into the outer ear opening, and be sure to lay with the ear being treated on the UP side.) \nDO NOT try this if there is any opening in the eardrum. (ie. ruptured eardrum, or tubes) \nMake sure when using the syringe to insert the mixture, there is enough room around the tip of the syringe for air to escape from your ear. \nDO NOT try to attach any kind of 'needled dispenser' to the syringe! At no point should any part of the syringe enter the ear. \nFor your comfort, make sure the water is warm as cold water will cause a violent reaction. Squirting cold water in the ear is how comatose victims are tested for consciousness. \nThings You'll Need \n2 Small bowls (1 to contain the cleaning solution and fill the syringe the other to catch the drained solution.) \nHydrogen Peroxide \nWater \nEar Syringe (Can be purchased at local pharmacy) \nCotton

A doctor can fix it by flushing it(irrigation i think). Feels alot better the next day. Sometimes it is just caused from using qtips believe it or not you should never place them in the ear..go figure..hope this helps you out.

Sock full of beans or rice, heat for 2 minutes in microwave or pan on stove over low heat and put it on your ear.  the heat should give you some comfort. I have suffered with ear infections all my life this works.  I have to use ear drops and had to have a tube put in.  Heat works my friend,  hot as you can stand it but not too hot to burn.

Heat always helps, I remember when i was a child having earache and my grandma got a hot water bottle with a towel over it and held it against my ear, that helped!

Rubbing Alcohol!  Get the kind that's 'anhydrus' (means without water) use a Qtip 4 times a day for a couple days. Then 2 times a day for at least a week. Dont take em out. It hurts, but it's the only way. I had to keep it up for almost a month on one ear. Use ibuprofen, not painkillers. Also, I guess that you can buy Amocycilin, mild antibiotic, at health food stores now, but only if it stays bad. Alcohol kills infection, that's why it hurts. Less pain = Less infection. It hurts so bad to repierce!

During your ear infection, the ear might have produced more wax than usual to protect the ear. Allow a week or two to see if it clears on its own accord, if it doesn't and your hearing is still a bit dull, go back to your Doctor, he may then be able to give you some treatment to clear things up for you. If you are very anxious about the ear, or anything else for that matter, visit your Doctor, he should be able to help reassure you, perhaps if he knows that you suffer with anxiety he'll be able to make you feel better. Please don't suffer alone, there's good help in this day and age. Also there are loads of really nice people on here that have suffered from anxiety and know how you feel. You'll be good at helping them too as you've had first hand experience.

You can use peroxide or alcohol. (I get swimmers ear and that's what I use) Also you can buy the swimmers ear drops from a store like wal-mart for cheap.
