  1. Soak the cloth in warm water and wring out the excess.

  2. Hold it against the painful ear for 5–10 minutes.

  3. Repeat as needed throughout the day.

Tips:

  • Keep the temperature comfortably warm—not hot.

  • Alternating warm and cool compresses can help reduce swelling.

🍎 3. Apple Cider Vinegar — Helps Balance & Fight Germs

Raw apple cider vinegar has mild antibacterial and antifungal properties that help restore the ear’s natural pH and inhibit harmful bacteria.

You’ll need:

  • 1 part ACV

  • 1 part warm water

Directions:

  1. Mix equal parts vinegar and water.

  2. Use a dropper to add 2–3 drops to the ear.

  3. Let it sit for 5 minutes, then tilt your head to drain.

  4. Gently dry the ear.

Repeat once a day until symptoms improve.

Tips:

  • Use raw, unfiltered ACV with “the mother.”

  • If irritation occurs, dilute further.

  • Do not use if your eardrum is ruptured or if pain is severe.

🧅 4. Onion Compress — Gentle & Anti-Inflammatory

You’ll need:

  • 1 onion

  • A thin towel or cloth

Steps:

  1. Slice the onion and wrap it in the cloth.

  2. Warm it in the microwave for about 1 minute.
