Here are some ear infection remedy to relieve ear ache:
Hot and cold compresses
The first and simplest thing you can do for an earache is apply some heat. Either place a heated wheat bag, hot water bottle, or warmed flannel or hanky on the ear to give soothing heat. Alternatively use a hair dryer to blow hot air directly onto the ear.
Onion poultice
Even more effective than heat alone is a hot onion poultice. This is something you can make up at home quickly and easily. To make an onion poultice, heat an onion in an oven or griller for a few minutes till hot. Wrap it in some cheesecloth or a clean cloth and apply it directly on the ear to allow the anti-infective fumes to work their way into the ear.
Plenty of hot fluids
Consuming plenty of fluids keeps ear secretions fluid so they will drain more easily. Hot lemon drinks, chicken broth and herb teas are excellent ear infection remedies.
