I have another post on how I treated my son's earache with sweet oil and pressed garlic, but a friend of mine who is 60yrs old was telling me how his mom used to treat them when they were children. He said lots of people did this. It's completey gross and I have googled it and can't find it anywhere where anyone else has done this so I am curious to see if anyone else has heard of this rememdy. He said they would find a wasp nest that had larvae in it. They would take a fresh larvae out and squeeze it and put the goop from it in the ear. OMG,,,I'm gagging just thinking about it,,,but then again, if it's hurting bad enough, a person would probably willing to try anything to make it stop.

My 10 year old has an ear infection. I am giving him ciprodex drops. The pain has been horrible. He was crying it was hurting so bad. I used my garlic press on a pod and squeezed it into a little measuring spoon. Next I poured some sweet oil over the garlic. I microwaved it for about 15 seconds which was too long, it was too hot, but this gave it a little time to let the oil from the garlic mix with the sweet oil. When it cooled a little, I poured just the oil into his ear being careful not to let any garlic slip through. He told me the warmth felt really good and the pain stopped immediately. I was amazed and happy that he finally got some relief.

PLEASE DO NOT USE HEAT AS A TREATMENT FOR EAR INFECTIONS.
Heat can dilate the vessels, allowing white blood cells faster access to the infected area, but heat allows the infection to multiply!
The remedy should depend on the pain. Vodka in my ear worked for an acute infection.
Vinegar/rubbing alcohol are good preventative measures.
Do not take baths, take showers. The water/bacteria gets trapped in the ear easily if you take baths or swim a lot.
Hydrogen peroxide helps with very acute infections.

I had an earache, otitis externa, or swimmer's ear. I had no medicine handy so I put a few drops of Listerene in my ear canal and held it there for 10 minutes. Listerene kills germs, and it killed these germs. I did this procedure twice a day for four days. I seem to be cured.

I had a terrible ear infection in my inner ear(swimmers ear). I used garlic capsules, break them open and sqeeze out the gel inside into a very small container, then mix it with either olive oil or an over the counter ear ache reliever mix until thin then pour all of it into infected ear,let it sit in ear for about 5 min. then drain, may take a day or two but it will feel so much better.

I am not use to ear aches because I'm 57 and I don't think I've ever had one unless as a child and I can't remember. Anywho, I have been sick for three weeks with bronchitis and it's almost gone except it went into one of those sore throats you can't eat or drink it hurts so bad and a incredibly painful earache. I read the vinegar solution and because I drink braggs organic with the mother in it, apple cider vinegar before meals, I had it on hand and placed some in my ear as I laid on my side for about 20 min. When I got up I'd say it was about 65% better and I was happy for that...Then about an hr later I noticed it's almost completely gone! =)

I had a ear pain all night... I didn't sleep. I finally go the idea to come online and check out the home remedies as a quick fix. I tried the warm vinegar and alcohol mixture... it didn't work at all, and stung the crap out of my ears. I don't know if my ear infection is internal or external.
I finally called up my mom, and she told me to take a panadol till I go to the dr in the morning.
Take 2 panadol extras.

Hydrogen Per. eases the pain. I had an ear infection I could not shake for 5 days, no medical insurance. I work in a pet store and was given a sample of VETERYCIN (this stuff is supposed to heal just about everything, so I thought why not)... sprayed it in my ear 3 times through out the day and had felt like I was under water. Sprayed it another 3 times in the evening and then laid on a heating pad when I got home for for a few hours. Pain and pressure is gone. Good luck!
