Anyone have a home remedy for an ear infection?

Question

I am about positive that I have one.I do not have insurance at this time so no doctors visits.I have had it for a couple of weeks now but silly me,didn't think about it being an infection..Any safe remedies to do at home?

Answer 1

pour a teaspoon of peroxide in your ear and let it bubble and then drain it - it will sound like there is a volcano errupting in your ear but that is because it is working on the infection (kind of like what it does when you pour it on a wound and you see it bubble).  when you lie down, put a hot water bottle under a towel and place your ear down on it - the warmth will help the ear canal to drain (so from your neck to your ear) and the towel will catch anything that drains from it. massaging your neck to your ear helps as well when the infected ear is down.

When you're out and about be sure to have some cotton on your ear and wear a turtle neck shirt so that your neck stays warm.

good luck

warm tea tree oil helps

Answer 3

Clean the ears out, usually an infection is accompanied by excess ear wax.
