Question:

Answers:
Go to the pharmacy and buy Sweet Oil and put a couple of drops in your ear with a cotton ball to hold it in place. That always works for me.
You can buy something called Sweet Oil in the store. It is pretty expensive and is actually Olive Oil so skip the very expensive tiny amount you get at the drug store and go to the grocery or your own cupboard even and grab the olive oil. Warm some up and drop it in your ear and let it set, put some cotton in it to keep it from leaking out, that should do the trick. Also, might sound funny, but try some nasal spray. Alot of times earaches occur because sinuses are backed up so if you relieve the sinus backup, the ear gets relief.
