It's a minor ear ache. Not too bad. I doubt is dental since I've already experienced a root canal that caused an ear ache that is much more intense. Any suggestions or products I can buy at the pharmacy? Maybe I just need to rinse it out with something.

My granny always used sweet oil on all of the kids in my family. It comes in a little brown bottle and you just heat it up in a cup of warm water and put a few drops in with a dropper then put a cotton ball in. Do this a few times and it should clear it up. I still use it and it works pretty good.

An old Indian woman told me to warm vodka and put two drops into my child's ear. I have been using this remedy for years and it works wonderfully. It even works for water on the ear which I had.

Try an ear cone from the natural health store. It is an old time remedy for ear aches. You lay on your side and someone puts the cone in your ear (it does not go in deep at all). Then is is lit and the smoke from it clears out your ear. I have done these and had a # of friends and family members use them as well. It can't hurt you and may be worth a try before something more heavy duty! Good luck.

Ear candling. You can buy them in a health food store. But be sure to have someone help you. Good luck.

Try a Yahoo search for"olive oil"+"ear wax"(OR earwax OR"ear + wax") and see what you get.The olive oil softens the ear wax and makes it easier to remove.

Get an onion, squeeze a couple of drops onto a teaspoon. BARELY heat it up. and put it in you painful ear. and cover it with a cotton ball. Leave it in for a couple of minutes. then tip your head to get the onion juice out. This has always worked. Also, you can get a prescription for ear numbing drops.
