For clogged you need ear candles. I get mine from Cheryl at earcandlelady@juno.com. They are sometimes called ear cones. You burn one end like a candle and set the other end in your ear. They somehow draw out the junk.\nThe peroxide idea is great. I used to get throat and ear infections all the time! Even since I've started using peroxide I haven't even had one!!! I just gargle at the first sign of soreness or when I feel that itchy/infection-coming-on feeling and I haven't had a sore throat or tonsilitis since. Same for earaches. I can stand to pour anything into my ears so I'll dip a Q-tip in peroxide and put it into my ear canal as far as is comfortable and wipe it around a bit. You'll hear it bubbling as it reacts with the germs. It is one of those things that is so simple people don't really believe it works, but it definately does. I use these treatments with my children too. It is definatly safe.

Mine itch like that too, drives me nuts! Don't put anything in your ear-it could do permanent damage. I doubt it's an ear infection. I haven't found much that helps, but have you ever tried ear candles? (you should be able to find them at any health food type store.)They are awesome! They're hollow, you put it through a pie tin or paper plate, between the burning part & your ear, light it, have someone watch and put it out when it gets too low. It pulls all the ear wax and pollen out of your inner ears.

I had that happen and the med tech packed it with gauze until I was able to get into the doctor. They told me NOT to introduce anything into it - no peroxide or anything but wait to be seen. The specialist told me that the secretions in your ears naturally kill bacteria and you don;t want to mess with throwing off the balance by killing it with alcohol or peroxide.\n\nI remember it hurt like the dickens...I had a concussion on top of it and vertigo...hope you have some good pain killers and a soft heating pad! Be well!

It is a ear infection. Don't worry though. Go to the doctors and tell them what you said here. I get them all the time. They suck and can be pain-full but if you see your doctor they can give you pain reviler it will go away and you wont have to worry about it anymore. \nGood luck

A doctor once told me the over use of peroxide in the ear could lead to deterioration of hearing due to the fact it could dissolve the tiny bones that make up the inner ear.

I use 1/2 hydrogen peroxide and 1/2 hot water(sterile) but only you only want mixture lightly warm for use. I put on inside of wrist like baby bottle to test temperature. Pour in ear. It usually tickles like crazy. Our family hasn't gone to doctor for an earache in years. Hope your feeling better!

Put five drops of hydrogen peroxide in your ear and wait until it stops fizzing (you may have to do it twice) and then put a Qtip dipped in rubbing alcohol to get rid of the broken up residue.

One part vinegar and two parts water, put it in her ear every few hours and that'll clear up the infection. I got ear infections constantly when I was little and it worked every time.

Just do this . . . place your head on a pillow or something so you are sideways and relaxed. Then have someone pour in enough hydrogen peroxide to fill your ear canal. Pull your ear out some to be sure the fluid gets all the way in. Lay like that for a few minutes and then use a bulb syringe to squirt some warm water in. Don't force it, just squirt it. It might take a couple of times, but I'm positive a big hard chunk will come out.

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.
