Vinegar!! This really works and was recommended to me by a physician. If your ear is inflamed the Acetic Acid destroys the conditions of growth of the bacteria and it is quite fast acting. You may dilute the vinegar.
However, it you have a full blown earache you had better see a doctor.

The juice from a baked or microwaved Onion used as drops because it is in the Garlic family and has curative qualities.
I have used as needed for 1 years zero infections.

warmed canned milk but you can use a hair dryer low setting to help ease it a bit then put in the warmed canned milk in with a dropper and cover with cotton ball. Earaches are no fun. Good luck honey. do not put urine in your ear.

Call it an old wives tale but my monther use to blow smoke from her cigarette in my ear when I had an earache. I've also done it with my children and grandchildren when they complained of an earache and it always seems to work.
I don't know why, but it did.

I'm with Kimmer. Although not really PC, my mother always blew smoke in my ear when I was little and it relieved the pain. Might be why I'm a smoker now. LOL.

I would not suggest doing the oil, urine or Garlic in your ear. You can wrap a heating pad w/ a towel and lie w/ the ear that is bothering you on the heat source. That is just a temporary solution. I suggest you check w/ your physician. Drops can be prescribed for your ears.

a shot of Bourbon! ;-P No joke...and putting peroxide on a cutip and just keeping it barely outside your eardrum...the more you put stuff in there the worse it will get, so be careful!

Drop warm, not hot Mineral Oil into ear canal. Also, if you have access to a blowdryer, hold it out from you ear, so the air flow isn't really strong, but it gets in there a little. The warm air will help it. I've also layed with my head on a hot water bottle. Obviously, the point is heat!
Feel better!

If your ear is hurting due to a cold or congestion, take an over the counter antihisimene(sp?) to help dry out your sinuses. That will help your ears drain as well.

Think about why you may be having the earache. If you are suffering from excessive drainage and/or blocked sinuses and have a lot of pressure built up you could end up with a ruptured ear drum. Oils will only temporary relieve some discomfort and won't really take the pain away. You may need to have your ear irrigated. Sounds gross, but very effective and it's instant relief. If it's caused by teeth/jaw issues that's something else. Go see your doc.

My mum used to use warm almond oil in our ears, you can dropper it in and put a cotton ball plug in there very gently do not push it into the ear. lie on the opposite side so it drains into your ear.

Since you currently have an earache, you should see an ear,nose, and throat specialist. you might have an infection, which could lead to damage to your eardrum. I know this because I got ear infections a lot as a child, and caused permanent damage to my ears. see a good doctor, and in the meantime, you should once in a great while saturate a cotton ball with peroxide and lay on one side and squeeze the peroxide into your ear. let it bubble for a few minutes and then press a towel to that ear and turn to the other side, practicing the same steps on your other ear. it will tickle, and itch, but is supposed to. After you are done letting the other ear drain, gently swab with a q-tip.
Some reasons for your earache could be from loud music or noise, a small bug (yes, a gnat or something of that nature...) is lodged in your ear, a buildup of earwax, or that you have an infection and need antibiotics.
Hope this helps!
