If you have ear problems frequently I have a home remedy you may think about trying. Now this may sound a little weird, but I swear it works like magic! When my youngest sister was little she use to get ear aches constantly, and my parents tried everything the doctor prescribed but it just kept coming back. So, my Mom and Dad took a little piece of garlic chopped it up, added about 1/2 cup of water to it, brought it to a boil, took the garlic out of the water and
threw it away, and then let the water cool down, and put the water in each of my little sister's ears. Then put the remainder in a container and put it in the refriderator to use again the next day if they needed to. It only took the one time, and my little sister has not had an ear problem since! I have did this many times throughout the ears when I have had fluid in my ears, sinus headaches or sinus issues, or sore ears, and I swear to you it works so good! I know it sounds crazy, but it is one of the best home remedies for ear problems! Also, in case your wondering it does not make your ears noticeably smell like garlic, and it hasnever been painful for me. For the first time use a small piece of garlic clove, because the less you use the weaker and the more you use the stronger the garlic water will be. If you have severe ear infection you want to make it weak, because the garlic sanitizes and kils the infection and if the garlic water is strong it could be mildly painful. Also if used with kids make it very weak. My parents used it with my 1 year old neice the other day. She has had ear problems so much.
