Question:
Is there any non prescription drugs that would help a ear infection and would cold medicine work for it?
Answers:
Yes there is. CVS in particular carries Homeopathic Earache Drops that really work. The brand is Hyland's and they are safe for children.
I use these drops with my little ones during surprise nighttime earaches to tide them over until we see the ped in the morning.
This brand offers safe relief to my little ones and I highly recommend it. You can visit Hyland's site at http://www.hylands.com if your local drug store doesn't carry the line.
Sweet oil, which can also be purchased at the drug store may offer relief, as will the home remedy of putting a gentle low warm stream on your blowdryer and letting it flow into the affected ear. Hydrogen peroxide is also equally effective (as someone else pointed out). These ideas may not offer complete relief, but they will tide you over until you can see the doc.
Good luck!
