Earache remedy

what can i do to get my ear to open up
( 5 Dec 2007)

Try the following home remedies and tips to open up your ear and relieve the pain associated with it.
  • If your ear is plugged badly try this trick. Close both your nostrils and your mouth too.


    Then try to blow air out. This will put pressure on your plugged ears to open up.
  • If you have pain associated with a blocked ear then apply warm moist heat compress around the ear. This will help give immediate relief. This can be done conveniently by placing a hot water bottle wrapped in a towel as a pillow while sleeping.
  • Yawn often to open up your ear. Yawning helps. You can even try chewing sugar free gums as this would increase the act of swallowing and also increase saliva production.
  • To drain excess ear wax from the ears pour 2-3 drops of warm olive oil or mineral oil and let it stay for 20-30 minutes.
