Earaches are a common condition that can affect adults and children alike.
If you have a child that is suffering from earache, then you should take them to see a doctor as soon as possible.
But before that, here are some tips as to how you can help your child cope with the pain, or even cure the earache.
1.
) Firstly, you should try using a warm towel to soothe his earache.
To do so, simply soak a piece of towel in warm water, then dry it and place against the affected ear.
The heat will help to alleviate the pain somewhat.
2.
) You can also use garlic oil to give relief from the pain.
Heat a few drops of garlic oil under a candle until it's slightly warm.
then pour it into the child's ear canal.
The garlic oil will help to clean the ears, and will heal the infection inside the ear canal if there is one.
It will also ease the pain from the earache.
3.
) Hydrogen Peroxide solution can be considered if you are very sure that the earache is caused by an excessive buildup of earwax in the ear canal.
If so, then pour a few drops of the Hydrogen Peroxide solution into the ear and leave it for a few minutes for it to dissolve the earwax, then drain both the solution and the dissolved earwax out onto a piece of tissue paper.
Whatever the situation, you should *never* try and insert a Q-Tip or any other hard object into the ear canal.
This is very dangerous, and might push the earwax down the ear canal, possibly aggravating the earache further.
