What can I do to prevent an ear infection?
6 Comments
makaybrittx3 asked:
I’m 12. I’ve had a cold for about 3 days now, it started out with a sore throat, then my nose got really stuffed. & it still is. Tonight, I noticed that it felt like there was water being pushed out my ear then back in. & from previous ear infections, that’s usually how it starts. I did go swimming in the ocean a couple days ago & did put my head under water, could that be it? But I really can’t handle an ear infection, I’ve been through enough in the last 4 days. I already layed on a heating pad, that kind of helped, & I’m going to sleep with it tonight, but is there any other way that I can do something to prevent it?
thank you so much. the hot towel helped it & I did feel the pops.

Ear infections are usually secondary to a cold or flu. Preventing colds is the best way, proper handwashing, proper nutrition, not sharing food items with others. Hope this helps, you should see a doc for frequent infections.

You probably just got water in your ear. With your sore throat and stuffy nose, you may need to go to the doctor anyway. Watch it for another day or two and if things don’t improve or get worse, see your doctor.

Put a little peroxide in your ear, and tilt your head. Then tilt it so it comes out. That cleans your ears. When your ears are infected, their are natural oils that you can buy that you can put a few drops in your ear, and it will help your ear.

first get a cold towel, microwave it, lay it over your ear until you feel pops, and that’s when you know it’s getting better, oh, and if you have peppermint leaves anywhere, squeeze out the oil and rub it on your temples, hope i helped!

Saty healthy. at fruits and vegetables, especially things w/vitamins and iron. Try not to cry (really hurts ear somethimes) and don’t blow your nose too hard. If you have a certain medicine, then take it as the doctor says. Stay healthy
