Ear ache in Children

Ear ache in Children
1. To alleviate pain, place a few drops of warm olive oil in the ear. Bottle can be placed in a small glass of warm water for a few minutes to get it warm.

2. Plug the ear loosely with a cotton ball.

3. You can also make a paste using onion powder and apply it to the outside of the ear to relieve pain.

4. Apply a warm compress over the painful ear. Heat can bring quick pain relief.

5. Garlic oil and Mullein flower oil can be used as an alternative to olive oil, either in combination or on their own. They will help to fight disease-causing microbes and reduce inflammation. Place a few drops of oil in the ear twice a day.

6. If the outer ear appears irritated, Lavender oil rubbed in gently can be very soothing. Apply as needed throughout the day.

7. Prepare a steam inhalation by adding several drops of Eucalyptus essential oil or a teaspoon of Vicks to nearly boiling water in a bowl. Place a towel over your head and inhale the steam through the nose 3 times a day until pain subsides. This will help to open the Eustachian tubes, easing pressure and help to drain the fluids from the ear.

8. Supplements such as Vitamin A, C, and E  will help boost the immune system.
