I personally would NOT attempt any home remedy for an ear infection.
Remember, the ear sits very close to your brain! My brother (who would have been a year older than me) died of meningitis secondary to otitis media at 6 months of age...AND HE WAS IN THE HOSPITAL AT THE TIME.
It is all too easy for an organism to enter the circulatory system and once that happens one really has an emergency on their hands.
Maybe you can locate a walk in clinic that many hospitals also maintain, as an option to the ER. Call the local hospital and see if they have such a clinic.
They - and you - will appreciate it.
