Swimmers Ear Remedy

My son went swimming, got water in his ear, now it hurts, and colorless to yellowish orders flowing, what can I do to relieve the pain until I can do into the doctor? Is there a home remedy I can use to get rid of it all, he had tubes in his ears, swimmers ear drops and told not to use if the eardrum is punctured, it is . Can anyone help me?


Notice that I said swimmers ear drops say do not use them? They have in them the alcohol, which apparently can not get behind the eardrum ...? Did the hot towel, and Tylenol, he said that the pain goes away, but it will wake me up if it starts to come back during the night. Thank you! I fear however that the doctor can not do it tomorrow. The last time I was sick, he took 5 days to get r! I do not wait long for his ear, and I do not want to, if Dr can not give us tomorrow, it will be in the emergency room ... I will not wait for the ear, especially if it is still in pain.

Get Epsom salts, wrapped in a towel and heat in microwave. The salts keep the heat longer and work a little better than a heating pad. Continue to take Tylenol. I had another way which I drew after reading and seeing that he had a perforated eardrum.

I know this is a stupid question, but have you made sure all water is out of his ear now - you can actually use a hair dryer against his ear to dry it. This bacteria into the ear canal of water that remains and that is serious without treatment. If it is still a problem tomorrow, if you can not your doctor, see if you can enter one of these clinics urgent care "type".

Sorry we can not help - any advice includes the addition of eardrops, and even the sites of natural medicine recommends consulting a doctor.

GOOD LUCK!

Here is the warning on the website of the Mayo Clinic:



When a doctor

The following symptoms require immediate attention, says Laura Orvidas, MD, Senior Associate Consultant and trainer in the Department of Otorhinolaryngology at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota.

* Drainage (especially a foul-smelling yellowish or milky discharge) of the ear

* Hearing loss

* A sudden, severe pain in the ear

"Even in the absence of fever, these symptoms indicate a serious infection that requires medical treatment," says Dr. Orvidas. "Your doctor will probably prescribe antibiotic drops containing cortisone."

mild swimmer's ear can also be treated with few drops of white vinegar placed in both ears. Put a few drops of vinegar in one ear and leave it in the ear canal for about five minutes before turning the ear down to drain the solution.

It sounds like an infection for sure, it might help the ball to Doc. Good luck.

It seems that his eardrum has burst. When my son had stuff draining from his ears, the doctor had a look and said that both ears had exploded, but the holes do not require surgery, they heal fine without hearing loss. It has a high tolerance for pain, and I do not know something was wrong with him until I saw things in his ears.

I hope your son feels better soon, but I would not put anything in the ear until the doctor sees. He could try to put his head on a heating pad with a washcloth or small towel covering it, though.
