Sorry to hear you were having such a bad ear ache. I hope the ache stays away.

I wanted to share my mothers home remedy. I'm surprised no one else has mentioned it.
When I was young I used to suffer from terrible ear aches quite often.

We were on a trip once and I was in a lot of pain. We were staying the night at my uncles house and he had two boys so my mom asked one of them to pee in a cup If I hadn't been hurting so much I probably would have put up a fight, but being what it was I let her put a few drops in. No kidding, within an hour my ear ache was completely gone!
Gross, but it worked
