Grew up with ear aches as a kid and mom always used a sweet oil. 

During my kids' years, I went to the dr and had the normal antibiotics, which really didn't do enough, and all 3 of my kids had tubes in their ears.

Then I have somebody tell me about an ear ache oil that can be made with olive oil, garlic and mullien flowers.

Don't use this if your child has tubes.

Easy to use, drop in the ear canal and plug with a part of a cotton ball.  Massage the base of the ear to help pull it into the ear canal.  The pain goes away quickly.  

If pain persists after 3 days, it's time to go to the doctor.
