(saline solution) its basically what mallory recommended but more sterile because its used for cleaning contacts

No you should not, use non-iodized sea salt or Epsom salt, 1/2 teaspoon per cup of warm water and soak your ear for 5 minutes. Do this twice a day until the infection clears.

No. The alcohol will burn the ear and could potentially cause more issues with the infected ear. I would recommend going to Icing or Clarke's and buying some of their ear care solution. I have found that this works very well.
