Hi my friends.
Wondering if you can help me…I have a horribly sore ear. Its got so much pressure and I can feel and hear my heartbeat in it. It feels like an ice pick in there.
Sadly I have a big exam tomorrow morning and I need to study but its sooooo bad I can't concentrate.
Does anyone have any ideas of what I could try?
I want to cry….

As crazy as it sounds cut a whole onion in half. Warm it up in microwave and place on ear. Hold it there. When it cools warm it again. Squeeze onion juice in ear. It really helps as goofy as it sounds I have done it many times.

I get ear pressure from water trapped in my ear. I use 2% hydrogen peroxide and/or a heating pad. If the peroxide doesn't help, I use debrox.

Thanks ladies. I'm willing to try anything at this point.

I warm up a wet washcloth, put it in a cup and hold that to my ear when I have issues when I fly. Maybe that will help with the pressure on land as well.

Warmed olive oil dripped in the ear. The oil is viscous and will equalize the pressure of the inflamation on the ear drum from the other side. The warmth is comforting.
Have you taken any tylenol or advil? That might help a bit too.

I second the olive oil. My SO had a horrible earache one day and tried EVERYTHING. It was a Saturday and he didn't want to go into urgent care and I asked on 2Peas and was told by a nurse to do the warmed oil and she said it often kept people from needing a doctor visit at all. I did it--and he went from being unable to get off the couch to feeling like his old stuff in literally minutes.

Get yourself to a doctor. You might have a perforated ear drum. I once ignored earache and ended up in agony and on antibiotics,w and deaf as a post for weeks in that ear, because I didn't seek treatment when I should have done. Please be careful.
