what can yo do at home for an ear ache?

Try running the blow dryer on warm near your ear for a few minutes, also use a damp q-tip to clean out any wax build up. Hope that helps. If it dosen't go away within 48 hours go see a doctor b/c you might have an infection and it'll only get worse. Feel better soon!

When there were no antibiotics for ear infections when I was a child, my mother did for me what her mother did for her...

She took a half a teaspoon of warm olive oil and put it in my ear.

After about a half an hour, I rested my ear on a towel to let it drain.

My swelling cleared up in about about 24 hours and the next day after that it completely cleared up because my immune system took over and did it on its own.

My mother took me to the doctor to get my ears checked and make sure my ear drum wasn't damaged from an infection, which I repeat.... was before antibiotics were used for ear infections.

After I passed the age in which I was vulnerable to ear infections, antibiotic treatments for ear infections had barely come out to the public.

Because of the overuse of antibiotics today... They are becoming ineffective and science is working on an alternative called the phage.

I'm aging myself, I know, but this avatar is accurate. I look young for my age.

Rinse ear with a mixture of vinegar, rubbing alcohol, and peroxide.

Lay on your side allow the mixture to sit in each ear a couple mins.

This may help, if this doesnt work and the condition last more than a few days, go see your Doctor

My family has done this for years and its always worked;warm a little vegetable oil be careful not to heat too much and soak a cottonball.Squeeze excess and put in ear .

I massage a few drops of castor oil into my ear at night and by morning I'm cured.

I had the same problem.What you have to do is leave your ear alone for a while and it will go away.
