home remedies for an ear infection?
#35
OK you are going to think this is weird or maybe even disgusting. Fresh urine in the ear must be warm. The acid in the urine, uric acid, and the warmth helps with the infection. Urine is sterile, unless the person has a urinary tract infection. This is a very old remedy. How you get the urine in the ear is up to you!

I had an infection and ears plugged with wax and my docter
told me to mix olive oil, 1/2 milogram of peroxide and 1/2 warm water. Worked great. My DH had to help me put it in
but he is a great nurse maid. We did fine and I got rid of wax
and the infection.
The docter checked me at my usual office call.
It works.

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.

I keep Polysporin ear/eye drops in the medicine chest at all times. You can buy them on the shelf here in Canada in the pharmacy department. If it is a minor ear or eye infection the drops will clear it right up.

Just poke a hole in end, squeeze out on spoon, wave match under spoon 2 or 3 times, pour into ear slowly, place cotton ball in ear, go to bed. Should be better next morning if really bad may need to repeat next eve or two. Has worked every time.
