Home Remedies for Ear Infections and Earaches

Apple Cider Vinegar & Breast Milk

Apple cider vinegar contains acetic acid which can help to fight off bacterial infection in the ear. Mix the apple cider vinegar with warm water in the same proportion. Apply a few drops to the infected ear. Hold the drops in for a few minutes before letting them out. You can use a dropper or cotton wool to apply this mixture.

Breasts milk has strong antimicrobial properties and is very effective in helping babies with ear infections. Some studies [3] suggest that these benefits are not limited to babies. Both children and adults can be helped by using breast milk to fight ear infections. In addition to oral consumption, breast milk can also be administered topically as a remedy. A few drops may be used in the ear at hourly intervals to relieve symptoms.
