Ear infection natural remedies 

An infection of the ear can make life miserable for you. There could be several reasons for the infection. If you have a cold or cough then this could have affected the ear too.


An infection of the ear is possible when some water enters the ear canal. However if you notice any kind of discharge or experience any pain in your ear, you should consult your doctor at once.

You can ease the pain in the ear by using a hot compress.


You can heat a griddle or a pan. Now fold a towel and heat it on the pan. Test the temperature on your arm before you use it on your ear. Doing this thrice a day will give you relief.
No matter how strong the provocation, you should not put anything into your ear. Don't attempt to clean the ear wax with any sharp object since this is likely to cause harm rather than help you.
    
You can also mix one tablespoon of white vinegar with one tablespoon of clean water. Mix this well and using a dropper, drop a few drops into the infected ear.  Another easy and effective remedy is using lemon juice. Simply drop in a few drops in to the ear. Wait for a while and then tip your head so that the juice runs out.
