Some home remedies for ear infections:
- Using Mineral Oil: Put a few drops of mineral oil in your ears. This should help especially swimmer’s ear.
- Using Garlic and Olive Oil: Heat a clove of fresh garlic in some olive oil.
Let it cool down a bit. Lie down on your side with the infected ear facing upwards. Put 1-2 drops of warm oil in the infected ear. Garlic has antibacterial properties and is a natural antiseptic.
- Colloidal Silver: Drops of colloidal silver can be put into the ear to reduce swelling, pain and infection.
- Hydrogen peroxide : Put few drops of 3% Hydrogen peroxide drops in your infected ear. This is available at your local chemist.
- Zinc is helpful in reducing ear infections.
- Vitamin C helps to boosts the immune system and fight infections.
Do not put anything in your ear in case of a perforated or a ruptured eardrum. Consult an ENT specialist if your problem is not solved.
