Earache/possible ear infection remedies

[adoggymum]

Tried the hot flannel in a mug trick (feels great) but the pain comes back as soon as it cools :(

Anyone else have any home remedies? I can't even hear out the eat- it's so blocked up😩

@JaneJeffer no :(

Good luck with the walk in centre. Hope they can sort it for you 💐

Can you get an out of hours appointment via 111?

You really have my sympathy. Ear ache is a bitch

I had this the other week, ended up calling 111 on a Sunday morning and getting an out of hours appt at the walk in centre. Dr took a very quick look in my ear, said "yep, yellow discharge, you get antibiotics". It started to feel better on the 2nd day and was completely better within 4 days.

@letsdolunch321 thank you, I'm there now- it's not too busy thankfully! I'm going to beg for antibiotics😂 painkillers didn't even touch it last night. X

@Lwmommy I'm so glad for you! That sounds promising, hopefully if I get some antibiotics I'll be feeling better once the weekend is over🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 I'm at the walk in centre right now.

I am pleased to announce the doctor gave me an antibiotic steroid ear spray so I can (hopefully!) stop suffering now! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻😃

That's good. Get well soon

Is it really safe to put tea tree oil in your ear? Does it have to be diluted?

I’ve been using vinegar in my ear, rubbing it around the sore skin. GP said I have eczema which keeps getting infected and recommended Vaseline which was no help.

Please please don't put anything in your ear, go to a doctor and let them decide.

Doh!!
Didn't read your update
Get well soon

@prampushingdownthehighst don't worry, I won't be putting anything in my ears ever again! I've just been using the spray prescribed and the pain is basically gone now- though the ear is still inflamed inside but much better.

Thank you!🌸
