How to cure an earache.. I made the mistake of wearing ear plugs last night while I have a cold and now one of my ears is full of fluid, the one that I sleep on.. Anyone know what will help?

Shocked .. Lol it's fluid behind my eardrum, not earwax, i've been sticking my finger in there all day and it hasn't helped so it must be behind the drum or some other hard to reach place.. Lol Laughing

Umm.. Lol your not even supposed to use a q-tip to clean your ears after a showwer. Sticking anything in your ears is bad. If it doesnt get better you may have to go to the doctor.

Pour some salt into a tea towel (about a cup of salt in a pile) and fold the towel round and round the salt, then put in the microwave for about 30 seconds to warm the salt (make sure it isn't too hot, salt can burn bad) then hold the warm salt package to your ear. Reheat as needed, but throw away when you are finished with it (don't use for cooking or stuff).
Always helped me so far. Wink

I used to have earaches a lot, I always use just ear drops. Put the ear drops in and then but a cotton ball in your ear so the drops stay in. Plug in a blow dryer and set it on low and let the hot air blow in the ear...Heating pads work good also~ I know might sound a little silly, but it has worked for m in the past! Hope your ear starts feeling better~

Lmao

a tea towel is made from slightly different fabric to a hand towel (bit thinner, less fluffy - lint free), whereas our hand towels are just smaller versions of body/bath towels.
Wow language barrier lol
