I am in sooo much pain. I have an ear ache. I'm taking amoxicin (spelling) I'm also laying on a heating pad. Does any one have fast relief for this pain.

Thank you,

Try a few drops of Ambesol (used for a toothache). Years ago my Dr. told me to try that for an ear ache. It worked. A couple of drops in affected ear. It numbs the pain the same as it numbs a toothache. (07/16/2005)

Earache Pain Relief

When I was a child we lived in a remote area where no doctors were available. My parents used the following home remedy, which I later used for my children. A pediatrician said it's not harmful at all.

Wrap black pepper in a clean white cloth, like a handerchief, making a little ball, about the size of the tip of your thumb. Used a rubber band or string to tie it. Dip into hot coffee, squeeze excess out, then cool enough not to burn. Insert this into the ear for pain relief. This saved us from many a night of agony. I hope it helps you. (07/16/2005)

You might want to try Echinacea (found in the herbal medicines of most pharmacies/discount stores). It won't help immediately, but it should start to feel better in about a day. I never had earaches as a kid, but several years ago I started getting really bad ones just in one ear. Antibiotics took five days before I felt any relief at all.

One time I tried Echinacea. I took two pills three times a day, and by the next day it wasn't as sore, and in another day or two it felt fine. After that, whenever I felt it coming on (or if I feel a scratchy throat coming), I use that right away. And now it's been a couple years since my last earache (knock on wood). (07/16/2005)

Please see an ear specialist. I had been doctoring for months with antibiotics and when I asked to see a specialist, he told me I had a fungus infection and I have been seeing him regularly every 3 months and he cleans my ear out and put some ointment in and I have been pain free since. I had so much pain it even hurt to smile or chew my food.Good Luck! I was also told every time I wash my hair to put vaseline on cotton and plug my ears. Iam not to get water in my ears.

My son had an earache once and we happened to be in a Walmart store, so I went over to the pharmacy to ask what would help the pain. The pharmacist suggested a couple of drops of sweet oil. We purchased some right then with a dropper and put a couple drops in his ear and the pain stopped almost immediately.

The sweet oil (or even vegetable oil) works even better if you heat it just a little. (07/17/2005)

Earache Pain Relief

Last year I had a horrible earache for days, my ears were really plugged as well. The pharmacist did recommend sweet oil, which helped. I also got myself an ear wax flush system (with the hydrogen peroxide drops and squeeze-syringe-thing). It seems that this helped a great deal, along with prayer (God really is merciful!); within a few days, the pain went away and my hearing was restored. But I would say, if this all does not work within a few days for you, definitely see your doctor. (07/17/2005)

Earache Pain Relief

Hello,

Get some olive oil and warm a little up in the microwave and a dab a in your ear with a cotton swab, make sure it not too hot. Also castor oil warmed up will do miracles. Once, when I had my wisdom tooth taken out, I started having popping
sound in my chaw and I couldn't open my mouth wide, Then Preacher women told me to warm up some castor oil and rub it on my shaw before I went to bed and less than 2 weeks I had no more problem, the popping stop and I can open my mouth wide again, it was in may 2003. Also I used
to have a lot of earache and she was the one who told me about the olive oil. So try this, it will help.

Sadly I put a couple drops of hot oil in my ear. Doctors are horrified and this is dangerous so I wont tell you how to do it. Stops the ear ache within 60 seconds though. Another method is fill a tablespoon with half witch hazel and alcohol to try to kill infection before you can see a doctor. Alcohol is bad because it will dry the canal out but it helps kill some bacteria until you can get antibiotic drops. Once you get a subscription for ear drop antibiotics, it lasts a very long time if kept in the fridge and works on dogs too. If your ear is draining you have a bad infection caused by blockage.

A few drops of hydrogen peroxide works well. It kills any bacteria and turns into water after it is done fizzing. Wait until it stops fizzing, then turn your head so the ear can drain. It's also a great cold remedy and kills the cold when you are just starting to come down with one. I wrote to a doctor at the University of Washington who recommends this. I'd recommend this over alcohol or oil in the ear.

My 6 year old was literally writhing in pain with an earache. He had just started his antibiotics and tylenol wasn't taking the edge off the pain. The ambesol in the ear worked RIGHT AWAY!

I first warmed olive oil by floating some in tepid water, that did not work for him. (02/15/2006)

Earache Pain Relief

I'm a 19year old university student. At 1am, I was rudely awoken by the most intense pain I've ever felt. Any sudden head jerk seemed to send a sharp wave of pain straight through me. All I could hear was a beating/throbbing sound in my left ear. Sheer agony. Take paracetemol to dull the pain, along with ibuprofen to reduce the inflammation. It's an agonising 3-5days, but when the infection's gone, it's fantastic! (10/18/2006)

Taking a combination of guaifenesin and a decongestant (like Mucinex + decongenstant) may help unblock the ear canal. Also you can take up to 800 mg of ibuprofen at a time 3 times a day. (05/14/2007)

Try sitting upright first. This will help the ear drain. Then try holding a blow dryer (ON LOW) 16-18 inches away from the ear.

Take a cotton ball and soak it in mouthwash. It will take away the pain. Do not use alcohol! The mouthwash might sting a lil bit, but WORKS, and totally worth it! Also, go to an ears nose and throat doctor, they work wonders. (03/17/2008)

Earache Pain Relief

5ml of Hidrogen Peroxide inside the ear cannal for 3-5min will usually aleviate an earache caused by a cold or flu. Any earache caused by infection (pus in ear or glands) will require antibiotics and anti inflammatory medication; Do not hesitate to consult your physician for proper medication. Any heated liquid inside the ear can harm the delicate timpanic membrane... be careful! (03/23/2008)
