Chew gum
Shane in Ontario, Canada -
Today I had an earache and the pain was excrutiating...the advil was finished...so I thought that people chew gum on planes for ear problems so I'll give it a shot...it eased the pain....it seemed like the jaw motion loosens your ear canal.....also for very temporary relief I got a towel and wet it with hot water,..then put it in my ear and pushed on the towel....this helped while it was held there....when I took it away the pain was back...ultimatly the gum helped me.

Peppermint Essential Oil
Amoreena in Grand Falls, NB Canada -I had a wicked ear ache for a few hours here. I tried the olive oil with no luck. So I got my Peppermint Essential Oil and put a few drops on a cotton ball and dabbed it around the outside of my ear but not right in the ear canal. Works like a charm. I feel no more pain. :)

olive oil trick
Jonny in Toronto,Canada -I tried the rice in a sack,the blow dryer, and the hot towel. None of them worked. So what I did is poured a little extra virgin olive oil in a smal cup, heated it in the microwave for about 30seconds-1min and grabbed a cotton swab. I dipped the cotton swab in the olive oil and left it in my ear for 5 minutes. It worked like a charm.

Old Home Remedy - Bear With Me
Graymalkin in Roanoke, VA -When I was a kid, my adult cousin had an unbearable earache. My mother told him she had a cure, if he wouldn't get mad at her. He responded, "Get mad at you? Why would I get mad at you if it helps?"
She left the room, came back in a couple minutes, told him to hold his head to the side, and put a few drops into his ear. In a few minutes, the earache was gone. The remedy? Urine.
My mom told me she'd learned it from her mother as a girl. According to her, it had to be someone else's urine, adding to my reluctance. I didn't see how the heck urine could cure an earache!
Many years later, I had a terrible earache, and as a last resort, had my wife put a few drops of her urine in my ear. In just a couple minutes, the earache was gone!
I don't even want to contemplate how anyone discovered urine could cure an earache. Kinda makes me wonder what they tried before making THAT discovery!

Onion juice for pain/ vit. E oil for cure
Carrie Hundsersmarck in pigeo mi -This is an old remedy from my great grandma. Take a big onion any kind...and cut it in half and squeeze the onion juice from it..onions have natural anniceptic in them to help with the pain. However this will not cure the infection if one accurs.Do not use heat!! That is a breeding ground for germs that will enhance infection. To help heal infection use vitamin E oil drops or poke a hole in a capsual u may have in the medicine cabinet. ( vit. E capsual) do this 1 to 2 times per day

GIVE THIS A TRY
MR.B in N.J. U.S.A. -Through Research and Self Use I have found a number of easy remedies. To be poured in the ear canal. Try one of the following.
1 Warm olive oil followed by a warm-hot compress
2 A teaspoon or less of Peroxide at room temp.
3 A mixture of Isopropyl Alcohol and water 50/50
4 A combination of smoke (from a cigarette) and warm compress.
5 Black Seed Oil (Nigella Sativa) is said to be a cure for everything except Old age and Death. It has been used for centuries in the Mid East and Africa. Black Seed Oil can be mixed with a number of other herbs. Then applied to affected area. Research online.

Throughout this time period, one must try to pop the ears 15-20 times per day (hourly) and also immediately after nasal spray use. Ear popping is done by pinching the nose and blowing gently
IF NONE OF THE ABOVE METHODS HELP YOUR CASE PLEASE VISIT A PHYSICIAN.

Garlic and Olive oil
Mayleen in Alberta, Canada -Put a fresh garlic clove in a bit of olive oil and warm up to a bit above body temperature. Take the garlic clove and let a few drops of the olive oil fall into you ear with your head tilted. The garlic has antiseptic properties and the slight warmth relieves pain. Repeat 3 time a day. This remedy helps but does not necessarily cure completely. It is best to use combined with echineacea and goldenseal tincture or capsules (in health food stores) Follow dosage instructions on the box.
