I know that this also works personally since I have had 5 ear infections since I have been out of high school. Unfortuately they were all bad enough that my eardrums ruptured each and every time. But the onion does work to help with the pain. The only bad thing is that you smell like that dumb onion for a long time. There are sometimes that I can still smell the heated onion in a washrag. Sounds stupid, but anyways hope your ear infection gets better.
