Please forgive me for whining: GAWD, my ear hurts!!
OW! Anyone got an awl? I could make it really hurt, to justify a trip to the ER, where I want to go anyway!

Doc said my cough and ear pain is from allergies. My meds aren't working! I've got the SARS in my ear! I've got the Ebola! I've got the bird flu! IN MY EAR!!

AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

2. direct the warm air from a hair dryer ..
just behind the sore ear. Not too hot though. Hold it there for a while. It seems to help. I NEVER had earaches as a child but I do get them now. :(

:hug:

3. My grandpa used to take a drag off his cigarette and blow it into
my ear. Worked every time.

**and for those who would comment on my grandpa smoking: He lived to be 82 and died of natural causes. :hi:

4. Believe it or not Garlic in olive oil is supposed to help along with
eating garlic as it has an antibiotic effect. If you google garlic and earaches there are several web pages about it.

I hope you feel better soon earaches really hurt.:hi: :hug:
