It's Friday night and I've been sick with the flu?!
Question: all week. I should have went to the doctors today because I'm sure I have an ear infection. Why didn't I go? What can I put in my ears to help them stop hurting? I've already tried hydrogen peroxide, vinegar, and a hot compress. I can't sleep please does anyone know a good home remedy?

Why are you putting crap in your ears... That's just gonna make it worse.
At this point, a q-tip all the way... or even a pencil would be the next illogical step!
GO TO THE DOCTOR!!!
If you have otitis media, ther's no home remedy for this infection. Don't even consider putting anything else in your ears that hasn't been prescribed for you. Otitis media is a middle ear infection. What good will peroxide and vinegar do? These things remain in the external ear. Your eardrum protects your middle ear and keeps these out quite effectively. Unfortunately, the middle ear (where the infection is) is on the other side of your eardrum.
Tylenol or ibuprofen for pain (may help a little) and the hot compresses may help along with the pain reliever. The bottom line is, see your doctor.
