2. Use Steam
Steam is another effective way to clear congestion in your ears that may be causing you pain. It is one of the safest remedies for an earache, especially for young children. The warm, moist air can open your airways, and reduce pressure on your ear. One way to use this as a remedy is by using steaming water in a pot or bowl. Boil some water in a pot, then remove from the stove. You could pour it into a bowl or use it directly from the pot. Lean over the steaming water with a towel draped over your head, making a tent over your head and the pot or bowl. Inhale the steam using deep breaths. If your bathroom taps have a heater, you could also take a hot shower or hot bath instead, inhaling the steam that the hot water creates. Steam from a humidifier can also have the same effect, and this is especially good for babies and young children.
