Painful ear remedies

Earache home cures 

If you have been tampering with your ear too much in order to try and clean it, it simply means that there is something bothering you from within. You should first get your ear checked out by a general doctor or a specialist to determine why you felt the need to clean your so much that you actually managed to injure it, in a manner of speaking. If you get a clean chit from the doctor, then the problem lies with you, rather than your ear.


You need to stop needling your ear and leave it alone. This itself will make a huge difference in as little as a day.

If the swelling is too painful, you can try to apply warm compresses in the area around your ear.


This will help with relief. If you notice that it does not, stop at once and start applying ice packs. This will bring down the swelling and will also help by providing relief. After three days, if you do not notice a difference, you can try to pour a few drops of warm garlic juice in your ear. Garlic is a very good healing agent and should help your cause tremendously. An excellent remedy is to put a few drops of witch hazel in the ear, which will heal and provide relief as well.

If you have swelling and pain in your ear due to excessive cleaning, the first thing you must do is leave the ear alone. This will make a considerable difference within 24 hours. If the pain persists, you should put a few drops of warm freshly squeezed garlic juice in your ear for relief. Garlic has antibiotic and antibacterial properties that will help your ear to heal very quickly. You can apply a warm compress against the entire ear area for relief. Alternately, you can also use a hot water bottle wrapped in a towel and lie down with the aching ear on it.

A very good remedy for taking care of your bruising and injuries is to put a few drops of the tincture of arnica in your ear. This will help to heal it tremendously. You can also put a few drops of witch hazel in your ear, as this is an excellent way to heal any minor injuries and is harmless enough not to have any dire side effects. The advantage of using both arnica and witch hazel is that both do not leave behind any residues and dry up all by themselves. This will eliminate the need to clean any further.
