There are situations when a person is worried about pain in the ear, but there is absolutely no time to seek help from a doctor. What can you do to help yourself and at least ease some of the pain?
About the reasons
If a person is worried about pain in the ear, treatment should be prescribed exclusively by a doctor. After all, only he can make the correct diagnosis. Why does the patient feel discomfort? It can be inflammation of the ear (otitis media), trauma, purulent bacterial processes can occur. Also, ear pain can be reflex in nature, for example, with tonsillitis or inflammation of the maxillary joint. The patient is unlikely to be able to independently determine the cause at home.
Temporary relief
If a person is accompanied by ear pain, the treatment can be carried out with ordinary olive oil. However, it will not completely eliminate the problems, but only reduce pain. So, it is necessary to heat the ear with, for example, a warm bottle, and then drop a few drops of heated olive oil on the eardrum. In this case, it is better to maintain a vertical positionbody. Also, do not forget to always keep the ear warm. You also need to drink more water and yawn, so the Eustachian tubes will be cleared sooner, and the pain will gradually go away. If a person has severe ear pain, analgesics, such as Advil, will help to cope with it. However, they again will not cope with the disease itself, but only temporarily relieve the symptoms. Another effective folk method that helps relieve severe pain: you need to put a cotton swab dipped in camphor alcohol in your ear. And behind the ear itself you need to smear with iodine. The pain will subside in a short time.
Inflammation of the middle ear
If a person has this particular disease accompanied by pain in the ear, treatment can be carried out with the help of tincture of juniper berries. It can be purchased at a pharmacy or made independently in sunflower oil. For treatment, you need to moisten the cotton wool in the infusion, squeeze it out and put it in the ear canal. The tool will work in a short time and help to cope with the disease.
Instillations
If a person is concerned about pain in the ear, treatment can be carried out by instillation. Almond oil works well for this. You need to instill about 6-8 drops into the sore ear, after which it is closed with cotton wool. After a few days, there is a noticeable improvement in the patient's condition. Beetroot juice works the same way. But for the best effect, it must be instilled warm in the ear. Squeezed hemp juice or hemp oil will also help if you need to deal with a sore ear. It is necessary to be treated with the same instillations.
Water
If ear pain is provoked by water, treatment can be carried out with hemlock juice, which is buried in the ear. Dill juice works the same way, in addition to treatment, it will also draw out unnecessary water from there.
Tumors
If a person has a tumor in the ear, figs will help to cope with it. A decoction of figs, along with foam, is instilled into the ear. It also helps to deal with noise. Nettle decoction is used for the same purpose.
