Ear inflammation is mostly known to affect children, but adults can suffer from it as well. The terrible pain can occur in one ear or both ears, but it is usually concentrated on one side.
The pain can occur occasionally, or it can be constant, but it is always dull, sharp or a burning sensation.
The most common causes of ear inflammation are: infection in the ear, pressure change (such as when flying in an airplane), buildup of ear wax, foreign object in the ear, streptococcal throat, sinus infection, shampoo or water captured in the ear, and the use of ear swabs.
This amazing natural home remedy will ease your pain and calm down the inflammation in minutes. It is called the salty magical sock. It is actually a white cotton sock filled with coarse sea salt which needs to be put on the inflamed ear.
Here is how to make the magical sock:
– Clean white sock
– 1 – 1/2 cup coarse sea salt
Note: It is important to use a white sock as colorful socks or socks with colored toes contain substances that are flammable. Such a material will melt when you heat the sock.
Therefore, use a white sock to avoid such problems.
And again, when it comes to salt, you should use coarse sea salt because if you use finely ground salt, there is a risk that the salt will leak from the sock.
Procedure:
Fill the clean white sock with coarse sea salt and tie it with a knot at the end. The magnitude of the sock should be as your palm. Heat the sock in a clean pan over medium heat for about 5 minutes.
Make sure you have warmed the sock equally from all sides, so shake it occasionally.
Heat the sock until it’s hot, but not hot enough to burn your hand when you touch it.
Put the heated sock on the painful ear (fix it with a scarf if it’s necessary), and lie down for 20 minutes. The pain should be relieved by the end of the treatment.
The best thing about this homemade treatment is that you can use the sock repeatedly until it becomes dirty.
Note: We advise you to consult your doctor first before you try this natural home remedy.
If you have an ear infection, fever, and temporary loss of hearing, you must visit the doctor first to get an appropriate treatment.
In young children, this problem is manifested through their behavior. They are often irritable, tearful, touching the ears, so in order to eliminate the possible problem, make an appointment with the pediatrician.
