I've had a sore throat for a couple days that has moved to my ear. I am trying to avoid going to the doctor because I don't have health insurance. Is there anything that you know of that can help cure/ease an earache? My soar throat is gone, it's just left in my ear now.

I have friends who swear by pouring some peroxide in the canal, leave ehad tilted for a minute or so, then relax the head and neck. They swear it gets rid of ear aches and even wax.

Go to your Helath Food Store...there are natural antibiotics...There is a Homeopathic ear formula. Also Garlic/mullein drops, Echinacea and goldenseal enhance immune system. Eat natural and whoole foods. Fresh fruits and veggies...Vitamin C...and essential fatty acids Flax seed Oil or Omega 3's reduce inflammation. Good luck.

An old fashioned remedy but it seems to work.mix some olive oil (warmed but not too hot) with crushed garlic clove and 3-4 drops of Tea Tree Oil. Mix it and let it set for a couple of hours or overnight is best. warm slightly and put 3 or 4 drops in the infected ear. lay on the opposite side to allow it to get into the ear canal betterlay still for several minutes before resuming normal activities.
