Ear infection?!
Question: I had a sinus infecition like 2 weeks ago but I don't think I ever fully got over it cuz this morning my nose was stuffy and i've had a lot of post nasal drippage lately. And i'm pretty sure its a sinus infection because me snot is sometimes yellow. But anyways my ear just started to hurt. Its not a constant pain yet but it is getting more consistant. It hurt quick and sharp. My horseback instructor just had an ear infection but I don't know of any others. Anything I can do or should know?

Hi Horse Help
Here are some ideas to use to heal the condition.
Treat Both Ears: The simple, old-fashioned aids are sometimes very fast in giving relief. Always treat both ears, even if only one aches.
1.Garlic: When my little girl had an earache I put a piece of fresh cut garlic in her ear (wrap it in cotton balls) and it was better by morning. The previous alternative was to go to the doctor and pay a lot of money for penicillin.
2. Onion: Lightly bake a large onion, cut it in half and while warm (not hot enough to irritate the area), bind one half of the onion over each ear. Bandage in place and hold bandage on with a nightcap, white skullcap, etc., and leave on all night.
3.Camomile: Use a fomentation over both ears of three parts of camomile and one part of lobelia. Take two ounces orally (a wineglass full) each two waking hours. Leave the fomentation on the ears all night. (Cover fomentation with plastic or oiled silk, etc.).
4. Mullein: Use three to six drops of mullein oil in both ears several times each day. Insert it upon retiring for the night, and, as before, plug the ears with cotton. Place a fomentation over the ears all night of three parts mullein and one part lobelia.
Best of health to you
