Husband have an ear infection?
my husband has an ear infection and i was simply curious as to what home remedies you have tried to get rid of it. does olive grease really work? (i saw it on a web site) and i also saw on the same trellis site that hydrogen peroxide works too, but i don't have any. and we haven't been swimming this summer it couldn't be swimmers ear. thank you so much for helping me.
Answer: Your husband probably have water behind his eardrum. You don't necessarily own to swim to have this happen. If his ear infection is already full blown, he may want an antibiotic. If you use hydrogen peroxide, mix it about equal parts with reheat water. Use a small paper towel or tissue to involve the mixture. Place your head to the side and squeeze the mixture into your ear. You'll hear some popping, but that is the hydrogen peroxide cleaning out the excess wax. Let it stay for a couple minutes, afterwards turn head to other side for a few seconds to drain. (I put a rinse out cloth between my ears and face to prevent it from getting it into my eyes) You said you don't have any hydrogen peroxide, but it's cheap and can be found at your stores usually beside the alcohol. At any rate, you can use this mixture too: 1/2 vinegar (just plain old apple cider vinegar will do) and 1/2 alcohol. Put several drops into each ear. We used this mixture when I be younger and on the swim team. We actually carried small dropper bottles near it to swim meets to help prevent infection! Don't ever put pure alcohol into your ear because it can dry the ear conduit and cause dermatitis behind the ear drum. The vinegar truly acts as a natural skin softener to prevent this. But if none of that help, go see a doctor because if it's bad ample, an antibiotic may be in order. Good Luck. .
Peroxide will verbs the wax but little else.Olive oil will not help at adjectives. It may make it worse. Witch hazel is good but a Dr is better Yes hydrogen peroxide can assistance the best is to see a doctor. If it is infected he will need an antibiotic.
Never mess with an ear infection. That nouns is too close to the brain.
Go and see a doctor - right away.
