Earache Home Remedy...

My household has had our share of painful earaches, especially around three or four o'clock in the morning. When the pain seems to have gotten worse, and the doctor's office is closed.

I then make what I call a homemade "heat compress". Which has been effective, for soothing and stopping our earaches. This is how to make one.

Take a clean, damp, washcloth filled with uncooked rice ( the rice will help "hold" heat longer)tie the rice up in the washcloth the best that you can, and place it in the microwave for about a minute or more as needed, until the cloth becomes "steamy".

Carefully lay the cloth over your ear comfortably without burning yourself, allowing the heat and steam from the washcloth to flow down into your ear, soothing any inflammation and pain.

Once the cloth has become warm, continue to reheat and place it over your ear,until you feel the pain starting to subside.This is what I have found to work for the earaches in my house!

*Note If you don't have rice on hand, you can still go through the same steps using just a folded, dampened, washcloth...
