Question:

Any home remedies for an ear infection?

We just returned from a vacation this afternoon and the last two days I developed an ear infection. I am calling my doctor in the morning, but this is extremely painful. I don't think it is swimmers ear for I didn't sumberge myself into the ocean water...I am taking Ibuprofen every 4 hours now...but any advice will help!


Answers:

Applying heat to the ear, which may help with pain. Use a warm washcloth or a heating pad. NSAIDs are best for the pain relieft (Motrin, Advil, Aleve). Do not take an antihistamine as this can make your symptoms worse! Good luck! Feel better soon!
