DO NOT USE TWEEZERS!!!! The head of the tick will come off in your skin and it will poison you.\n\nIf you can see the tick and can get to it easily, Take a match and lite it and then blow it out. The end will still be hot and take it and put the hot end on the tick and the tick will let go and fall off. \n\nIf it is deep in your ear go to a doc.

two things i have tried that worked are:  1.  try getting a cotton ball soaked in alcohol, let a couple of drops go in the ear.  this should evaporate the water causing your swimmers ear to go away.  another trick is, get some warm water in a little cup, pour a couple of drops in the ear, then quickly lay your head to the other side, and let the water come out.  one of the two things should work.  if not, you may have an infection and need to see an MD.  good luck!

The Best Way to Remove a Tick\nThe possibility of tick-borne illnesses gives a sense of urgency to the topic. In chat here at DrGreene.com, a mother asked me about the best method for getting ticks off our kids (and animals). People in the room had heard of many methods: applying rubbing alcohol, smothering with Vaseline, painting with fingernail polish, twisting clockwise (or counterclockwise), and touching with a hot match. Though these methods are popular, they are not the best. Use tweezers to grasp the tick as near to the mouthparts (and as close to the skin) as possible. Use gentle, steady, straight force to pull the tick out. The site should then be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected with alcohol or another disinfectant. \n\nThe tick can be killed by soaking in rubbing alcohol or flushing down the toilet (it should not be crushed or squeezed). Hands should be washed afterwards. Check with your local health department to see if they want the tick for monitoring purposes. \nhttp://www.drgreene.com/21_392.html\nhttp://www.rdoctor.com\nhttp://www.symptomat.com\nhttp://www.kavokin.com\nhttp://www.fda.gov/fdac/features/696_flea.html \nhttp://www.healthsquare.com/mc/fgmc1408.htm\nPrompt and complete removal of ticks does help prevent illness. This is a situation where the folk remedies can do more harm than good.  \n\nAlan Greene MD FAAP  \n \nJune 01, 2001  \n \nClick here to read yesterday's Daily Dose of Dr. Greene.

You might think i am crazy, but i work at a hospital and we have a lot of people who can not afford medications. we tell them to use one part vinegar, one part peroxide, and one part water. mix and use a eye dropper to put a drop or two in your ear. it will naturally help the ear wax come out of your ear and help dry up any fluid build  up you may have. worth a shot anyways.

Yeah definitely see a doctor in case there is an infection.  If there is wax blocking it it may soften with some warm olive oil...obviously make sure its not too hot!  And you will probably have to get someone to help you put it into ur ear!\n\nHope ur feeling better soon!

There's a tube connecting the middle ear to the mouth. I haven't heard of pus visibly tracking down this tube but if it's coming from your middle ear then it could be otitis media (but this should generally hurt and you may have a temperature with or without some change in your hearing). If it is otitis media it should be treated with antibiotics to prevent chronic otitis media. I read somewhere in a closed question a person describing a pustulent discharge from a perforated ear drum and the 'best answer' said nothing had to be done about it as it was a few days old which is not best medical practice.

Take a needle, sterlize it ( use rubbing alcohol or a lighter).  Depending on how deep the splinter is, take twezers and try to get it out.  Or you can try a needle and get under the skin,lift the skin up and tthen try to take it out.\n\nStart by washing your hands with soap and water, then washing the affected area. If one end of the splinter is sticking out of the skin, grasp it with tweezers and gently pull it out. (Remember to pull in the opposite direction from the way the object entered the skin.) Clean the area well with soap and water, and apply a bandage.\n\n\n\nIf the object is completely embedded in the skin, you'll need to enlarge the puncture in the skin through which the splinter entered, or create a small opening to reach it, using a sterilized needle or tweezers as tools. In difficult cases, you may need to visit a doctor or nurse to have this done for you. \n\nClick on the link below for more information.\n\nHappy removing!

being that it is wax I am assuming that it is malleble.  So why dont you just take a pencil or something and start gently scraping at it until you get a good hold.  When its stuck to the pencil/whatever start gently pulling.  Be sure not to poke too strongly or forcfully.  You do not want it to get stuck farther or destroy any part of the ear. Also, be sure it is a  skinny object, using your finger is only gonna make it worst.

Lie your head down with the ear containing the bug up and drop in some peroxide.  Continue dropping peroxide in until the bug either crawls out or if dead, floats out.

A remedy my mother used that seemed to work was to have me lay on my side and pour a small amount of hydrogen peroxide in my ear.  Then, after letting it sit for a couple of minutes, dab up the peroxide with tissue.  Poking Q-tips or anything else in your ear when it's inflamed will only make it worse.  I'm sure most would say visiting a doctor might be the best thing to do and in the interest of full disclosure, I'm not a doctor.  Good luck.  Hope your ear feels better soon!
