Accepted Answer

Question 3

i have had tubes put in each ear twice, and now i seem to be in need of another. is there any permanent solution?  home remedy for discomfort/pain?

Accepted Answer

Complex: Pain usually improved by tylenol (acetaminophen) or advil for short term. Need to talk to your ENT dr pre-op to see if the recurrence is an issue due to eustachian tube angulation / malformation / whatever--and if an enlarging procedure or stenting would be reasonable to try to maintain normal drainage, stop infection recurrences and prevent need for tubes a 4th time.

Question 4

what is a good home remedy to remove ear wax?

Accepted Answer

Soften it: Putting drops of hydrogen peroxide into each ear canal 2-3 times per week can keep the wax very soft. This way it will come out of the canal on its own over time. And never go digging with cotton swabs. You will wind up pushing more wax into the canal and creating nice wax bricks.

Question 5

home remedy for  ringing in ears and dizziness after passing out and hitting head?

Accepted Answer

Likely concussion: The tinnitus and dizziness could be from a concussion especially if it is not localized to one ear.  Concussion symptoms will improve over time.  If it is one ear then you might have labyrinthine concussion where the force delivered to the temporal bone that houses the ear causes hearing loss, tinnitus, and vertigo.  See ENT if just one side.  More importantly is why u passed out. Discuss with pcp.

Question 6

good home remedy for ear infection?

Accepted Answer

Depends: There are several types of ear infections. Inner, middle , and external or outer. You need to be specific when asking a question. The typical swimmer's ear is an outer infection. You can treat that with a 50:50 mixture of isopropyl alcohol and clear vinegar( acetic acid) applied with an ear syringe 2-3 times a day. If that doesn't work in 7 days, see ENT doctor.

Question 7

is there a home remedy for a mid ear infection?

Accepted Answer

Yes &amp; no: Some of these are just self healing viruses or mild eustachian tube dysfunction, so treating with a pain reliever like Ibuprofen for a couple of days may be all you need. If it does not improve, there are no "home" treatments for a germ producing pus collection in the middle ear.That would need to be verified and treated with prescription meds.
