Help!!! Ear ache/infection

[TMC50]

Guess got some water in it this past week and it is bad these past two days! Been using drops but just doesn't seem to help. Anything else before I head to the doc that I can do?

Ear candles.

Hydrogen peroxide works well also

Will have to wait until my sister or bil get home before I try to burn anything down!

We used to use newspaper, good or bad idea?


Will do peroxide when I fully get out of bed

put a damp towel over your ear then blow hot hair dryer over it.

Sweet Oil (olive oil). A few drops and then a little bit of cotton.

Go to the doctor

Bro in the medical field for over 15 yrs. Go to the doctor. If it hurts take some Tylenol for pain and fever. If it's infected they should give you an antibiotic. Also no washers with topless ladies....

I'm going through the same thing buddy. I tried, peroxide, alchohol, qtips, blow dryer for two weeks. Finally went to doctor. Feeling much better

Go to the doctor! I've had my ear drum rupture 3 times from ear infections, its not fun and you can damage your hearing.

water will drain out, but when it gets infected, the pain you feel, it swells the canals in your ear not allowing anything to drain properly. pouring peroxide wont kill the infection, and oils like witch hazel will only coat the infection to keep the air off of it, making it hurt less. dr time

Well looks like I am going to head on to the Dr today.... Biggest problem is I've been staying at my sisters before I move so that I can see my niece so I have to wait for her to get off.
