Picking up her son, trying to comfort him as he kept holding his ear and crying and howling in pain, the lady standing beside me could do nothing except wait for the doctor to check what was wrong. She was not surprised to hear him say that it was the small piece of foreign object that her son had playfully stuffed inside his ear that had caused the problem. It is not just children, but also adults who are in the habit of putting either cotton or bobpins inside their ear which later on causes ear pain or infection.
Most commonly earache is a result of ear infection which is due to invasion of fungus and bacteria in the ear. Because of the bacteria infection caused by water deposition and by the exertion of force upon the ear surface by fluid there is an obstruction in the Eustachian tube which results in ear ache. Earaches can be painful to extremely painful and is a common problem among children and adults.
In most cases ear ache is caused due to blockage in the ear tube, objects stuck in the ear, sinusitis, ear wax, and ear injury, damage to the eardrum, tonsillitis, pharyngitis, cold and allergies. Ear ache can also be caused due to ear infection or any other ear disease, nose mouth or throat infection, injury to jaw bones, fungus growth in the ear and so on. If you want to prevent ear aches, refrain from putting anything in the ear such as fingers, pins, cotton swabs etc, as this can cause damage to the eardrum by getting something stuck in the eat, while blowing your nose, do it gently, when swimming wear earplugs and do not swim in dirty water, also avoid smoke as much as possible as this can increase your risk of infection.
Whenever you suffer from earache you will notice that you have mild pain in the ear, hearing loss, fever and occasional discharge from the ears, mild itching, swelling, thick discharge from the ear. Infants may have symptoms like diarrhea, irritability, poor feeding. Some home remedies for ear ache that can prove effective is pouring some garlic juice in the paining ear, since garlic has antibiotic qualities that help relieve the pain. You can also apply 2 drops of ground holy basil leaves inside the ear, another good remedy would be boiling 3-4 cloves of garlic in some water, mash them and add a pinch of salt and wrap this in a woolen cloth or flannel and place it on the aching ear. Put a few drops of hydrogen peroxide in the aching ear, you can also apply heat to your aching ear using a heating pad or a warm cloth
