H.E.L.P.: Ear Infection.
I need Dr.
H enry's
E mergency
L essons for
P eople!
I didn't want to shit up your wtfersary thread anymore, Lyn so I thought I would make this one.
So, I've had a pretty annoying cold the last couple days and my ear, which has been fucked up since last Saturday, has gotten progressively more painful/annoying lately.
The cold symptoms feel better today (I eat lots of hot sauce daily  ) but my ear feels pretty shitty.
WTF is sweet oil? How many drops? For how long should I lay on the other ear once the oil has been placed in my bad ear?
Other tips for a fucked up ear?
(thanks, Lyn)

You can go to Bath & Body Works and buy some ear candles. They've helped with several ear problems I've had in the past.
Oh, and see a doctor.

so far as I can tell sweet oil is olive oil. garlic juice couldnt hurt either as its pretty good for that sort of thing.
and Id say 5-20 mins ought to do it...you could plug your ear with cotton after too.

Yes, since you have had it a week, go see a GP, you may make it worse.

Well, "dangerous and ineffective" don't really sound like selling points to me.

I stand by what I said about going to the GP, however once I had the same problem, heavy head cold, really nasty and my ear was the same way, i used otex and sinex.
