Some home remedies for ear infection:
1) Using Mineral Oil: Put a few drops of mineral oil in your ears. This should help especially swimmer’s ear.
2) 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.
3) Colloidal Silver: Drops of colloidal silver can be put into the ear to reduce swelling, pain and infection.
4) Hydrogen peroxide : Put few drops of 3% Hydrogen peroxide drops in your infected ear. This is available at your local chemist.
5) Zinc is helpful in reducing ear infections.

6) 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.
