How to Naturally Get Rid of an Earache

Having had ear infections from the time I was 5 years old, there came a time when I just did not want to go to the doctors anymore. Granted, penicillin does work when given, but only after you have taken it for more then three days. Anyone who has had an earache knows they want the pain to subside quickly. Here are some great ways to ease the pain of the earache naturally.

1. A heating pad will work wonders for your earache. Turn the heating pad onto medium high or high if you can stand it. Place the heating pad directly underneath your ear that is hurting. Keep it in place for 30 minutes, and repeat until the pain begins to subside.

2. Blowing hot air into your ear with a blow dryer also works. Heat allows the fluid in your ears to move better, therefore the pressure begins to ease up. Do not put the blow dryer on high, use a low speed and keep about 10 inches away from the ear. 15 minutes, every couple of hours will help with the pain.

3. A few tablespoons of warm cooking oil placed inside of the ear canal with a dropper also helps ease the pain of an earache. Once you have heated the oil up in the microwave for roughly 40 seconds, get a dropper and fill it up. Add four to five drops of the heated oil to your ear and lay down for 30 minutes. Once 30 minutes are up, allow the oil to drain and relax. The earache should feel

4. Last but not least, fill a dropper up with some apple cider vinegar. Drop three to four drop into the ear and lay down. You might feel a little tingling sensation, but do not worry. The vinegar is killing all the bacteria that is inside of your ear. Repeat this process twice a day until the earache is completely gone.
If this is your first time having an earache or it your child that had the earache, it is best that you go to the doctors. Having had over 300 earaches, finding natural ways to cure them were best for me. That does not mean it is best for you.

If you have any liquid leaking out of your ear, see a doctor as soon as you can. You do not want a ruptured ear drum, it is very painful and can take weeks to heal.

Do not stick anything in your ear at anytime ! No matter what anyone has said, cleaning your ears out is NOT good for the ear. The wax is there for a reason, leave it alone.
