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!

yeah, try to make your own care plans if you're in school. I'll give ya the benefit of the doubt and choose to believe your ear hurts. Pain control is really the only nursing intervention. \n\nIf there's a hearing problem, you need to use interventions to help them cope. Housing assessment, case management referral, all that.

If it is due to extra water in your ears, which happens alot more than people think, there is an over the counter medication called "swimmers ear" that will help. I used to get really bad infections and I tried using this when I got out of the shower or after I went swimming and it REALLY helped.

Find out why you are having it. Demend testing not just medicine to treat the symtoms. My doctor gave me an ENG and a tilt table test. There are also other medicines like transdermal scopolamine that works well, its a patch for the back of the ear and it stays on for 3 days. Also the meclizine works too. If its a problem in your inner ear there are surgical options to fix the problem if it gets so bad that you can't function. If you aren't satisfied with the treatment that you are getting from your doctor then see another doctor because you need to find out what is causing the problem.\n\nGood luck!

A few drops of rubbing alchol or a product called Swimmers Ear but if you have pain then you need to see a doctor in case you have an infection.

Guaranteed cure:  Get an ear bulb at the drug store.Make a bowel of hot soapy water and use a bar of Ivory soap and make the water very soapy. Lie on you side and squeeze  the hot soapy water into your ear and let it set 10 minutes. Do the same with the other ear.\nRepeat this twice a day for 3 days. Then on the 4th day, use a shower hose and warm water to flush out your ears. I did this when I was young and never needed it done again!

most earaches will go away on there own. Relieve pain with warmth, (warm washcloth) doctors do not like to perscribe antiabotics as much anymore so unless it is getting real bad, wait it out. If you still have it after a few days see your doctor.\n\nDon't forget to load up on Advil or Motrin to help with the pain.

Yes, please see a doctor! It's very easy to injure your ear drum with q-tips. Damage is irreversible if you don't see a doc promptly.

Breathe slowly and deeply.\nMentally, try to relax.\nGently rub the area of the head directly behind the ear, where the earlobe meets the skull (some heart-controlling nerve passes through there, and I've heard a gentle massage works).

Try finding someone that does "Ear Candling"\n\nIts a hollow bees wax candle that gets placed in your ear canal the other end is then lit on fire........this creates a vacuum effect (it DOES NOT hurt, i get it done all the time) \nWhat it does is pull out all the old ear wax, old and new infection, helps eliminate: "sinus infections", colds, headaches/migraines, sore throats.....and basically any form of  "head/ear/throat" infections or problems.\nThis has been practised for 1000's of years......the Egyptians used hollowed our reeds.\nDo the research......you'll love it once you get it done (I promise)\n\nStay away from antibiotics...all they do is kill all bacteria in your body (good and bad) it does help for a while.....but all it does is mask what is REALLY causing the problem. It treats the symptoms NOT the problem.\nStart by going to a health food store or a naturalpath and ask for  "acidophilus " all it does is promote the growth of the GOOD bacteria in your body making it stronger then the bad.....it doesnt kill anything just makes your immune system stronger. When your immune system is strong you can fight off infections much easier and faster!!!\nAlso:\nAll acidophilus products are not created equal. \nYou can pay less, but you won’t get more.\n\nGOOD LUCK!!!!!!!

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.

Motrin is pretty good. Within an hour you will have total pain relief. Buy the gelcaps. They are small and easy to swallow.\n\nIf you don't want to take medicine, there is not much that will help. Just wear loose fitting clothing, get a hot mug of tea and snuggle under a blanket in front of the TV until the next day. You should feel better in the morning.

Get a doctors appointment now, within the 21 days.  The hearing aids may, in fact, be appropriate.  If they are not, return them and pay the 10%.  Let it be a cheap lesson.
