Ways to Treat Earaches

Garlic

Garlic has long been an effective home remedy to alleviate pain. Many studies have found out that the plant contains many antimicrobial properties that can help fight infections. Keep in mind that you should only use garlic to speed up your relief rather than a substitute for prescription antibiotics. Simply eat a clove of garlic on a daily basis to avoid ear infections. There are also many garlic ear drops available on the market, which can help alleviate pain and prevent your earaches from worsening. To make it at home, you can mix some garlic cloves in sesame oil or mustard and cook until the solution turns brown. [6]
