3. Steam
Many earaches are caused by a clogged Eustachian tube or a buildup of fluid in the ear somewhere. If you can remove the pressure and allow the fluid to flow properly, the pain often goes away. This also helps get rid of infections and prevents them from occurring.
Steam is a great way to open up clogged tubes and relieve pain caused by pressure. The best way to use steam to fight ear pain is to sit in a steamy shower. Leave the door closed and turn the water on as hot as possible. The steam should fill the bathroom in no time, and you may even feel the pressure relieved quickly.
If you don’t find success with steam the first time, try again. It can take several times before the steam completely opens up the ears and allow the fluid to escape. Some people also like to use steam machines to help treat ear pain.
