The $100.00 bottle of medicine from the doctor only worked temporarily, then itchy, clogged ears would be back. I tried a home remedy I found on the internet and BRAVO, clean ears now going on 4 years. In a small bottle with a tip on it, mix 1 part 91% alcohol and 1 part vinegar. Apple cider or white will work. Several times a day drop a few drops into each ear. I also put some on a Q-tip and wipe the inside of my ear, just don't push Q-tip into ear. Everytime your ear gets wet especially after bath or shower or swimming do this. The 91% alcohol dries moisture, and the vinegar keeps bacteria from growing. Don't use 70% alcohol, it has too much water in it. If ears are really slushy, clean them a few times with peroxide before using the alcohol/vinegar. Peroxide will put water into the ear so don't use it too often. Once your ears have been slush/itch free continue to use the alcohol/vinegar at least once a day." http://www.earthclinic.com/Redirect.php?pageLink=/CURES/earache.html&name=HYDROGENPEROXIDE_29239 /CURES/earache3.rss2 Sun, 05 Jul 2009 09:42:42 EDT [SIDE EFFECTS] dadude99 from Cottonwood, AZ, writes: "Right now i have a realy bad ear ache that has ben going on for 2 days. yesterday it was the 4th of July, so the bangs made it worse. i tryed pain killer, and it worked pretty well. this morning i started to hear ringing, so i tryed proxide, and now it is stuck in my ear bubbling. so DONT USE PROXIDE!" http://www.earthclinic.com/Redirect.php?pageLink=/CURES/earache.html&name=GARLIC_28582 /CURES/earache3.rss3 Sun, 21 Jun 2009 04:50:15 EDT [YEA] Jeremiah from San Diego, California writes: "EAR INFECTION, PREPARATION SUGGESTION I had a really bad ear infection in January of 2009 in which the infection caused my right ear to have hearing loss, as well as a constant sense of being clogged with something and/or feeling clogged from high altitudes (pressure change). I took a clove of garlic, peeled it, then scraped a part of it to release the juice and allicin, then CAREFULLY (I CANNOT emphasize that enough) the scraped part into my ear canal and let it stay there for at least 2 hours, possibly 3. When I took the clove out, the infection was gone. PLEASE NOTE THAT YOU MUST, I SAY MUST!, EXERCISE EXTREME CAUTION IN DOING THIS!!!!!!!!

Get one garlic clove crush it in a garlic press mix it with one tablespoon olive oil then gently warm the two ingredients together in a small pan. Next use a Qtip to drop three drops into ear then cover with a cottonball. Apply 2 times a day. My kids want me to add that it takes about 10 minutes for pain to subside." http://www.earthclinic.com/Redirect.php?pageLink=/CURES/earache.html&name=GMO_28153 /CURES/earache3.rss5 Wed, 10 Jun 2009 05:09:49 EDT [YEA] Lanayanie from Santa Rosa Beach, FL writes: "When my son was 4, he had a recurring ear infection. Antibiotics did not help, and I was very frustrated. It seemed like a vicious cycle. Finally, I stopped taking him to a doctor (and stopped the antibiotic round). Instead, I would put a small piece of cotton ball dipped into garlic oil or mullein oil into his ear before bed time. Both are supposed to work well for this. (Mullein is an old native-American remedy for ear ache.) I also gave him high doses of vitamin C, garlic, echinacea, and golden seal (in liquid) mixed with his juice several times a day. Once he recovered, the problem did not come back." http://www.earthclinic.com/Redirect.php?pageLink=/CURES/earache.html&name=VINEGAR_27875 /CURES/earache3.rss6 Fri, 05 Jun 2009 10:30:04 EDT [YEA] Mom2_3 from Balitmore, Maryland writes: "my family friends son had an ear infection for nearly a year. They did everything imaginable to cure it and nothing worked. He had oozing green nasty stuff coming from his ear constantly. After many different painful and risky treatments, including thinking of taking out parts of his ear (10 hour surgery), they were referred to their last resort at John's Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore City. The doctor was stumped and gave them one last idea...he said this may or may not work but let's give it a try....use vinegar to irrigate the ear twice a day. After 2 months of that and then 1 month of once a day it was gone and has NEVER returned!

So I'm taking the initiative to write, then I'll let him know. He was diagnosed with this problem several months ago now, tried antibiotics, nasal sprays,saline washes,even med.'s such as Prilosec, for GERD/Acid Reflux thinking it maybe have caused this issue with his ear, of course all the above hasn't helped any. Bending over to help it clear for a few mintues, allergy med.'s, saw his PCP, an Allergist, ENT put tubes in his ears, his sx.'s worsened so he had them taken out, he is very against surgery for fear of it not working. He is a college student and looking @ his near future come Sept. he will no longer have health Ins. so he is desperate for lack of a better word, this has very much interfered with his well being and he has even become depressed and I feel awful for him. Even the ENT now are @ a lost on what to do to help him. What can you suggest for this young man. I appreciate your time, talents and feed back on this.

I suffered from many ear infections throughout childhood. Typically, it was from swimming, but I even got it from taking a shower or bath occasionally. Ear drops from the doctor were warm, oily, expensive, and took about a week to cure the infection. My mother heard that you could get rid of it with hydrogen peroxide and I have never looked back. Any time my ear starts to hurt, I put a few drops of 3% hydrogen peroxide into my ear and let it sit until it stops bubbling. Then, I drain out the ear and put one drop of rubbing alcohol. The peroxide cleans and sanitizes the ear canal. The drop of alcohol mixes with any water or peroxide left in the ear and evaporates it quickly. This method usually takes care of the infection overnight, and I haven't had an earache for more than two days since I started using it. I don't know how safe this is, because I'm not a doctor. I do know that I have been doing it for the past 14 years and still have good hearing and no known problems with my ears." http://www.earthclinic.com/Redirect.php?pageLink=/CURES/earache.html&name=ONIONS_26709 /CURES/earache3.rss9 Fri, 15 May 2009 00:00:00 EDT [YEA] Jackie.81 from Park Rapids, MN writes: "Our school nurse called me and said my 6 year old was in the office with ear ache which my children get every year. I ran to the store and bought a yellow onion and cooked in the microwave then squeezed out the juice and put about three drops in it and it took the pain away and she went back to class and never complained again. Her nurse was amazed by the remedy." http://www.earthclinic.com/Redirect.php?pageLink=/CURES/earache.html&name=ALOEVERA_26608 /CURES/earache3.rss10 Thu, 14 May 2009 00:00:00 EDT Dana from Boston, Ma writes: "My kid got very bad ear ache one night, I didn't know what caused it or what to do. I have aloe vera plant at home for minor burns and such, so I cut it and squeezed some clear liquid and warm it just enough so it's not cold and put 3-4 drops of it into the ear and closed with cotton ball Very soon she fell asleep, next day like nothing happened. We didn't take her to a doctor, because she was fine and never again had any problems, so I don't know what caused the pain. Whatever it was aloe vera helped." http://www.earthclinic.com/Redirect.php?pageLink=/CURES/earache.html&name=RN_24512 /CURES/earache3.rss11 Thu, 26 Mar 2009 00:00:00 EDT Maya from Sydney, Australia writes: "Ear Issue/Fluid Question: I have water trapped in my ear, and it's been more than a week - this has never happened to me before. There is some discomfort, but no real pain. The discomfort seems to be localised behind the ear, at the top of the jawline. Any ideas as to how to release the fluid would be most welcome.

I went ahead and used a dropper to place two drops into the affected ear and literally within seconds he went quiet and pulled the covers over his head. I was talking to my wife about what else we could do when I noticed he was not squirming under the covers. I pulled the covers back to reveal a wonderful sleeping little boy with no more pain. Altogether this took probably a minute or less. This lasted all night and well into the next day until the afternoon when it happened again, but not as severe. Keep in mind that when it began he was kicking and grabbing his ear, not wanting me to touch it or do anything. My wife took him to a doctor who said his ear was infected. I have not had to try it again, but next time I'll be sure to reach for the honey. I hope this can be of use to someone, especially the little ones. I don't know what warnings to give about honey but be sure to research it before giving it to your child or anyone, even in the ear." http://www.earthclinic.com/Redirect.php?pageLink=/CURES/earache.html&name=HAND_23937 /CURES/earache3.rss13 Fri, 13 Mar 2009 00:00:00 EDT [YEA] Gean from Salina, KS writes: "At the very first sign of ear pain, put your hand over your ear for a few minutes, warming your ear. If your hair is long enough, pull some hair over your ear and cover with warm hand. Keep it there until pain goes away. If you have access to a hat or head band, cover ears to keep warm. If very bad you can cup both hands and make a "tunnel" from your mouth to your ear, blowing warm air. The key is not to wait at all, but do it at the first sign of pain. You can do this wherever you happen to be, and can save you lots of trouble. I've told my kids to do this, and no one in the family has had ear pain for many, many years. If time has gone by and you've had the ear pain for hours, then you may need a heated salt bag or some of the other treatments, although it wouldn't hurt to try the above. But, remember for the next time that a stitch in time saves nine." http://www.earthclinic.com/Redirect.php?pageLink=/CURES/earache.html&name=GARLIC_23778 /CURES/earache3.rss14 Tue, 10 Mar 2009 00:00:00 EDT [YEA] Susy from Woodland Hills, CA writes: "I've been using Garlic for earaches ever since I can remember. It works like a charm. You use one Garlic Tooth, heat it up but not burning hot, you cut the piece small enough to fit in your ear but not small enough to go into the ear canal. It works like a charm. I've done this on my kids as well. They fall asleep & wake up pain free." http://www.earthclinic.com/Redirect.php?pageLink=/CURES/earache.html&name=HYDROGENPEROXIDE_23682 /CURES/earache3.rss15 Sun, 08 Mar 2009 00:00:00 EST [YEA] Nadera from Woodside, NY writes: "A few days ago, I woke up in the morning and couldn't get out of bed because... I suddenly started to feel dizzy. Everything was going upside down, and I felt nauseous. So, I lay for a while untill I could go to the bathroom, where ofcourse, I threw up! For a couple of days I was confined in bed, later when I felt slightly better, I went to my doctor. He prescribed Meclizine 25mg(saying that I have ear-infection) which I took for a few days. Then I went to your site and read about H202. So, I plucked up enough courage and poured half a tsp.,of Hydrogen peroxide in both my ears. There was a bubbling sensation and I was scared whether I was doing the right thing, yet kept on repeating the process three times a day. After a few days, I went to the hospital to have my ears checked (just in case) to make sure; because deep down I was also worried what if, the infection had spread or something... My vertigo, had not subsided completely yet, so I went to the emergency, the doctor having checked everything said, she doesn't see any infection in my ears, so she referred me to an ENT. By the time, I got to see the specialist (according to the appointment) few days went by, but I didn't stop the application of my home remedy. In the meantime my dizziness got cured, by the grace of Almighty God. The specialist checked my ears and put me through several tests, finally discharged me saying everything was clear.

I have had only one ear bothering me then the other one started so he went and looked up some home remedies for us because we can not afford to send me to the doctor. But it looks like that I am gonna have to go because I have not been able to get a solid night sleep. I finally do get to get some rest and it is only for about 3 hours at a time. The pain is so unbearable that I have literally bawled my eyes out and I am a 44 year old woman. The remedy that was given to me was the one that calls for 3% hydrperoxide 3 drops in each ear and then dry each one completely then take 2 drops of apple cider vinegar in each ear and leave in there for five minutes repeat this whole remedy 3 times a day. I know that there are some who do not get relief by using these remedies and others do, but I am at my wits end. I can not afford to go to the doctor. I am currently unployed but I am out there pounding the streets to find work and I have been very depressed lately. Work was the only thing keeping me going. My ears are hurting so bad right now I just want the pain to stop because it is so terrible that I have thought about other ways to end this pain and I am being very serious about this.

I am a stay at home mom of 3 little boys - i don't have time to be out of commission. So - i came here as usual and found the Hydrogen peroxide remedy. i poured about a eighth of a cap-full (3 ml), tilted my head and poured it in. It was rather uncomfortable, mainly because of the liquid being in my sensitive ear, and the bubbling.... LOTS of bubbling :) But i don't think it was so bad that i couldn't do it on the kids. anyway - i did it about once every 2-3 hours totaling 3 times. The last time was right before i went to bed.

Heat the oil a bit and dip cotton and make into a little ball to pout in the ear.
