ear muffs?

warmth. Use a hair dryer to blow warm air on the affected ear, or use a heating pad.

Or you could try a medication like otocort ear drops. I think, since it has cortizone in it, that it should be used sparingly. I also think it is prescription, but you might check with the doc.

I've suffered from earaches too, but it's usually an infection. Antibiotics do the trick nicely for me.

Some Sudafed may be helpful to you. It allows drainage and may help alleviate some pain. Heat (as others have suggested) also helps. Good luck.

This is a solution for swimmers ear that our Specialist gave us.

1 Tablespoon White Vinegar, 1 Tablespoon alcohol. This will correct the PH balance in your ear and evaporate any water that might be in the ear. Drop a drop or so into each ear, let it drain or suction it out. His popped and cleared in a really short period of time.

My Husband had water in his ears and went through two prescriptions. He could hear almost nothing. We finally broke down and used this solution, it cleared within the day.

The heat is helpful for the pain. Lay on a heating pad.

Use Ibuprofen for the inflammation in the ear/ pain and a heating pad on med. NOT HIGH!!! I burned myself once when I fell asleep on one. If you do not own a heating pad, use an empty soda bottle and fill it with heated water...NOT too hot!

Use a capful of peroxide 3-4 times per day and apply a hot wet compress to the back side of your ear. You can also use a heating pad on low setting to help the discomfort.
