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.

There are several ways, but first You should go to a Chemist and get some drops that soften the earwax as it can be quite hard. You can go to your local GP after a few days of this being used and have your ears syringed. You can also do it naturally with ear candles which are available from most health food shops. The larger ones are better.These are called hopi ear candles. There are also people out there that do ear candling for you, these are better candles and it works really well.

Sweet oil will help, however, it will not take care of the real cause of its aching~sweet oil is used for loosening the wax, so it is not putting pressure on your ear!! You can look at your local drug store to find any OTC (over the counter) drops they may have to help until you can get in to see a doctor~~Depending your age, most aches in the ear are caused of water & wax build up and sweet oil might just do the trick!! If you are younger (child 12 & younger) a doctor would be the best bet!! Good Luck!! :)

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!!!

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.

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.

Ok the cut open potatoe and cigarette smoke may both work but DO NOT under any circumstances put oil in your ear canal.  It will never come out without having your ear completely irrigated by an ear, nose, and throat specialist.  Peroxide is one thing because it's not going to cling to every surface in your ear but do not use oil.\nHeating pads and some ibuprofen or similar pain reliever will work quite well.  Trust me I've gone 20 yrs avoiding getting tubes in my ears because of ear infections.  If you have an appointment with a doctor tomorrow, ride it out with the heating pad and pain reliever and you'll be fine.  Without the pain reliever, you'll have a pretty sleepless night but the doctor will better be able to see what's going on inside your ear.  I wish you well.

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!)

You could get one, but it isn't going to help your toothache.  The best home remedy for a toothache is to take 800 mg of Ibuprofen which is prescription strength.  To rid yourself of the toothache, see your dentist.

If you want to ease the pain until you can get to the doctor try a few drops of warm sweet oil or Coloidal Silver Drops ----fill ear canal place a tissue over ear for about 6 minutes and it will kill any bacteria or virus.

Increase your liquid intake and make sure your house is humidified properly.\nGargle with warm salt water (¼ teaspoon salt to ½ cup water) several times a day.\nDrink a glass of hot water with 1 teaspoon lemon juice and some honey. You'll feel better instantly. You can also drink a chamomile tea with lemon and honey added.\nCut a lemon into 2 pieces. Take one piece and put some salt and black pepper on it, press with a knife so that salt-pepper penetrate into the lime. Put the lemon on heat to make it warm. Slowly lick this lemon squeezing it until no juice remains. Do it 2-3 times a day.\nChives and scallions are helpful for a sore throat when simmered in water for 5 minutes. Drink as a tea.\nFigs, beets are beneficial in sore throat.\nEat garlic. Garlic is an anti-septic and good for many conditions.\nTake over-the-self pain relievers such as ibuprofen (Motrin IB®, Advil®).\nuse commonsense hygeine.

DO NOT USE A Q-TIP!!!!  If you have something stuck in your ear the q-tip may push it down further.  Try rinsing your ears out with 1/2 hydrogen peroxide and 1/2 warm water, not hot.  Then immediately after, because it will bubble in your ears, get in the shower and let the water rinse out your ear canals.  If that doesn't help, there are ear drops at the pharmacy (over the counter) that are supposed to loosen clogged ear wax so you can rinse it out.  But this takes a few days.  Best thing to do is to see your doctor and have him/her look inside your ear canals.  If they are clogged, he/she can clean them out.  There could be another problem going on.  This is your hearing so its best not to mess around with it.
