It's usually an infection and only a doctor is qualified to make that determination and prescribe medicine. Over the counter medications or drops will not clear up an infection. Don't take chances with your child's health.  See a pediatrician.\n\nThe good news about earaches/ear infections in toddlers is that as they grow the angle of the eustachian tube starts to angle down and they become much less prone to ear infections.

first off try putting cotton ball in your sore ear whenever you go outside, try not to get water in it while showering or washing your hair, a hair dryer blowing into your ear is a temporary quick fix.

Try Mucinex.   It is the generic OTC of guifenisen, a decongestant.  I suffer from chronic ear infections but Mucinex has reduced the number drastically.

If your baby isn't screaming or tugging at his ear now he is probably fine. It is scary for any child to have something unfamiliar and uncomfortable done to them. If your son has an ear infection it could be that it was painful due to inflammation as well as wax buildup. Keep an eye on the ear to make sure it doesn't turn bright red or have pus or blood oozing out of it. I would suggest washing out the inside of his ear with a warm washcloth to decrease wax buildup in the future. \nGood Luck...my daughter used to have the same problem it is so hard to see them hurt!

this has worked for me and my kids for 15 years now EVERY TIME...\n\nYou have someone plug your ears while you guzzle water. Keep swallowing for about 5 good chugs. If you are alone, you can plug your own ears and drink thru a straw. \nTrust me, once you try this you will never need another cure.

Please do not put a q-tip in your son's ear, it will only cram it in there worse.  You can use peroxide, or they sell earwax remover at the drugstore.  Follow the directions on the box.\nYour son just probably makes excessive earwax as my son does.  Periodically use the stuff on his ears to keep them cleaned out.\n\nBTW, ear candles do not work.  Try burning one without putting it up to your ear.  The same junk is found in it, it comes from the candle.  They're crap.

It's possible that the ear will heal around the earring.  You really do need to keep turning them.  Try it when she's sleeping

Put some peroxide on a Q-tip and put it in your ear and just kinda let it set there. That should do the trick and clean out any bacteria that may be in there.

Give them Aspirin if they're complaining before Bedtime...gives some time for pill(s) to have effect.\n\nDraw a warm Bath & let child relax in Tub for several minutes.\n\nGently Massage affected areas - while in Tub - Afterwards, If still required!?\n\nSeems to do the Trick!

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.

You can't cure earache yourself.  You need a doctor to determine why your ears hurting.  Don't listern to anyone who tells you otherwise.

when my daughter was 7 months old she had an ear infection.I had her to the doctor two times still didn't cure it.I used granny's home remedies again. a fresh clove of garlic diced very small put in a jar and cover with olive oil let set over night,shake the jar twice the next day.Then strain and put the oil in a covered container and keep in the fridge.I gave my daughter 1/4 teas. every 4 hours and warmed some and dropped into her ear.After 1 day of this the next morning she coughed up quite a bit of flem from her lungs.She stopped pulling at her ear that same day.! Also if you know a smoker.have someone gently blow(puff) cigarette smoke in her ear and cover immediately with a warm towel I don't know how that cures it but I have seen it done many many times! Instant cure!

She may be cutting teeth. baby anbesol on the gums and teething rings help. You could also give her some baby tylenol for pain. Keep your eye out to be sure there is not some other illness like ear infection. If she continues, I would take her to the doctor just to be sure. Good Luck.

There are several over the counter remedies, one by Murine and one called Debrox.  There are also generic equivalents.  Peroxide can also work.  The problem with all of these is that they are water based, not oil based.  Since wax is also oil based, using warm oil can sometimes be more effective.\n\nIf ear wax is a chronic, reoccurring problem, try using a few drops of oil daily to prevent buildup (any oil will work, most people use mineral oil or sweet oil).\n\nIf the wax is impacted, the only good way to remove it is to have your doctor remove it either by flushing with warm water or with a "cerumen scoop" (ear-wax picker).
