Ordinary ear infections often clear within 3 days on their own. A pharmacist can help relieve any pain and discomfort from an ear infection by recommending acidic ear drops to help stop bacteria or fungus spreading or use of painkillers such as paracetamol or ibuprofen. You can also apply of a warm or cold small piece of towel on the ear or remove any abnormal discharge through cotton wool by wiping.

Instructively, neither put anything such as cotton buds or your finger to remove earwax from infected ear nor apply decongestant or antihistamines as there is no proof that they can help with ear infections. On the same breath, never let shampoo get in your ear. However, for severe infections, ENT specialist may be needed to diagnose and recommend appropriate treatment methods.
