to help ease the outer ear canal area clean with water and rub vaseline around the area regularly this will stop the skin drying and cracking and soothe the heat a little the thing is antibiotics may be the only choice but you should go to your chemist or gp and there is an ointment you can put into you ear canal called sofradex it is an eye or ear drop and you will have to lay on your side about half hour to let it totally drain in but it is very soothing but please don't delay because ears can be horrid things if infection takes hold and your messing with your hearing good luckHealth Question & Answer
There is no home remedy alternative to antibiotics.. It does sound like you have an infection, there is an out of normal hours service that runs, ring your GP's surgery and on their answer phone message there should be recorded message giving you the number of out of hours/on call care.. Failing that holler at NHS Direct..Health Question & Answer

Sound like u have a ear infection
go to your GP after the bank holidays as they give you ear drops or you can buy ear drops from a chemist after the bank holidays
or try one of these methods
The human ear is composed of the inner ear, middle ear, and the outer ear.. Ear infection can attack any of these parts and one part can usually infect the others.. External otitis affects the outer ear some times it comes after cold or flu or some other kind of upper respiratory infection..
The area from the eardrum to the outer part, becomes inflamed and is very painful, sometimes a fever may be developed.. Otitis media affects the area inside the eardrum and all the small bones, the air pressure is regulated in this area by the auditory tube running from the ear to the back of the nasal cavity, when bacteria or a virus gets in this area, the different parts become inflamed with fluid, causing pressure and extremely sharp pain in the ear with fever..
Fasten the warm onion bag to the painful ear with a woolen scarf or hat.. (Use only natural materials, like cotton, wool, flax or silk..)
One popular home remedy for ear infections is to drop one to two drops of onion juice or garlic in the ear.. This remedy can sting the ear.. Therefore, it may be necessary to dilute the juice with boiled water that has been allowed to cool..
Sudden increases in air pressure (during descent in an airplane or on a mountain road) can both squeeze the floppy tube closed and create a relative vacuum in the ear..
Drops of tea tree oil may be beneficial.. This herbal treatment has mild anti-bacterial properties, but it may irritate the skin..
Put few drops of garlic juice into the infected ear.. Use blow dryer from about 12 to 15 inches from your head, this will remove any water trapped in the Eustachian tube.. Put some olive oil on the warm spoon; put 2 to 3 drops of this in each ear.. Put few drops of lobelia extract into the infected ear and rub it gently.. Wash your ear using colloidal silver, it is a natural antibiotic.. Slightly warm one teaspoon of juice of the mango leaf and put it into the infected ear drop by drop..
For bad ear aches/infections squeeze lemon juice in your ear, keep it in for a few seconds, and then let it drain out.. I put a towel over my ear so it doesn't drain into my hair......that gets pretty sticky! The lemon has to do with changing the Ph levels in your ear.. The bacterium is a base, and if you add the lemon, an acid, it neutralizes the Ph levels in your ear so that the bacteria cannot live in there!
Removing debris like wax, pus and shed skin from the ear canal causes direct contact of the medication with the infected skin and hastens recovery..
Make a mixture by adding 1 tablespoon of almond carrier oil, 2 drops of lavender essential oil, 2 drops of chamomile oil and 3 drops of tea tree essential oil.. Warm this mixture and add 2 drops thrice a day to the infected ear..
Put a cup of salt in the microwave for 2-3 minutes and dump it on some small cotton bag or socks.. Keep this close to the ear; it will reduce the pain and swelling caused due to infection..Health Question & Answer
