Ear pain can be uncomfortable, but there are several home remedies that can help relieve the pain. Here are some of the most effective remedies:

1. Pain relievers: Acetaminophen, ibuprofen, or naproxen can often relieve the pain of an earache.

2. Warm or cool compress: Soak a washcloth in either cool or warm water, wring it out, and then put it over the ear thats bothering you. Try both temperatures to see if one helps you more than the other.

3. Olive oil: Warm olive oil and put a few drops in the affected ear. Be sure to use a clean dropper for this method.

4. Naturopathic drops: Ear drops made from herbal extracts can be found online and in some drug stores. Drops containing herbal extracts in a base of olive oil could be just as, or even more, effective as traditional OTC ear drops.

5. Garlic: Crush garlic and soak it in warm olive or sesame oil. Strain the garlic out and apply the oil to the ear canal.

6. Hydrogen peroxide: Place a few drops of hydrogen peroxide into your ear. After a few minutes, let it drain.

7. Distraction: Distract the mind from the earache by playing games, watching TV, or exercising.

8. Chiropractic treatment: Slowly rotate the neck and head, and lift the shoulders up toward the ears; repeat throughout the day.

9. Saltwater gargle: Add one teaspoon salt to one cup of warm water and gargle it for a couple of minutes. If your ear infection is related to a swollen throat, this can help reduce your symptoms.

10. Neck exercises: Rotating and stretching your neck can help ease pressure that’s built up in your ear canal.

Its important to note that if you have severe ear pain, fever, or other symptoms, you should see a doctor.
