Answers:
truth is, you probably need to see a doctor for an antibiotic because if your ears are hurting that bad, they have an infection!. Meantime, try this: Mix 1/2 warm water with 1/2 hydrogen peroxide!. You can use a paper towel to absorb the mixture, put your head to the side, and squeeze into your ear (do not let it get into your eyes, put a towel between your eyes and your ear if you need to)!. You will hear popping noises, but that is just the hydrogen peroxide cleaning out your ear, it's OK!. Let it set for a couple of minutes before draining!. Clean the OUTER EAR with a Q-tip to get excess wax off!.
You can also try this: Mix 1/2 alcohol with 1/2 vinegar at room temp (just ordinary apple cider vinegar is OK)!. The vinegar acts as a skin softener that can occur if you put just alcohol into your ears, and helps prevent dermatitis behind the ear drum, which can happen with pure alcohol because it will dry out your skin!. Never put pure alcohol into your ears!. Put a few drops in your ear and see if that helps!. If none of this helps, you really need an antibiotic to help fight that infection!. Also, when the infection is gone, you can put that alcohol/vinegar mixture into a drop bottle and put a few drops in your ears after swimming (before any infection sets in)!. It may help prevent swimmers ear in the future!. When I was a kid, I swam on a swim team and we carried this mixture in our swim bags!Www@Answer-Health@Com
