Default Lemon juice for earache/infection/wax questions.

hey guys new here! sup?

Well,

Monday is when my journey started. Used some debrox ear wax removal stuff in bth ears. Worked for my left side,but right side felt very full and eventually by tuesday i was having pain when i chewed and swallowed,etc in right ear. Was going to go to the doctor the next day for it. Instead however I looked up natural remedys for ear infections/ear aches. Found the lemon juice one,how the acid in the juice balances the ph levels of the ear. Eliminates bacteria,etc. So I used it tuesday night and my ears felt funny,but next day wednesday my ears will still feeling weird and stuff but there was no pain anymore,i have been still using the lemon juice one,how the acid in the juice balances the ph levels of the ear. I have been still using the lemon juice n them in morning and night,and i did today at 11am,and still hours later I am having tingling,and weird feelings in mostly my right ear,so I dont know whats going on. Not sure if they are still in the process of healing or something,and actually right now the right one is hurting a very small bit. I did it right,I have been using fresh lemon juice,I just dont know about these weird symptoms. If they are from the healing process or a setback..or what..

thanks

Hi Kevinnadar1, Wow, I have never heard of using lemon juice, but I can understand why it would work... At my house, we use hydrogen peroxide and ear candles and cajeput oil... We put about 4or 5 drops of hydrogen peroxide into the ear and let it bubble for a bit... then we let it drain out, and then use an ear candle on that ear. You can find ear candles at the health food store, and they usually have directions of how to use them... After the ear candles, I put a few more drops of hydrogen peroxide into the ear and let it bubble for a few more minutes...I then put some cajeput oil (sister oil to tea tree oil, which would work just as well I imagine) underneath the ear, I make a line or two across the glands that are right there under the ear (is it glands or ????) but cajeput oil is an antibacterial, so hopefully I am killing any type of infection that we might have in the ears... It has worked for us everytime...Everyonce in awhile, we might have to do two candles on one ear because of excess build up, but it all seems to keep the ear infections down.

Ear candles? You may want to hop on wikipedia for that one. They have been thoroughly debunked as pointless and potentially harmful. Any results you see will also happen without placing the candle in an ear.

For my son, who has irregular ear canals we use warm water to soften the wax that builds up and then gently coax the 'plugs' out of his ears. Once he even managed to flush a solid plug out on his own with warm water flushing.

I'll have to go check the lemon juice idea, but whenever he's irritated we can usually find a plug either by flushing or taking him to the clinic for a peek into his ears.

If the lemon juice brought you this far I would keep it up.
I would also add just straight hydrogen peroxide 3%
two times a day. Fill the ear canal. Let it bubble in the ear until it stops bubbling.

Hydrogen peroxide on its own can get rid of most ear infections. Do not expect things to work in just one or two days. We have to give antibiotics a week or more! Of course natural things sometimes work much faster. The key is...are you feeling a little better each day? If so proceed.

Well, Lex87, have you ever tried ear candles? We have been using ear candles for at least ten years now. They have saved us from many many doctors visits. I cant prove to you that they work, but I continue to prove to myself and the folks who try it on my suggestions. I have a disabled foster child, when we went in for our regular doctor visit last week, the doctor did say that she had some really bad ear wax built up in one ear. Asked me if I felt like I could take care of it, or if I needed them to do a flush. I told her, that I would do the ear candles, and we would go from there.. Did three ear candles, and got two big wads of ear wax out of the ear. Now I did follow the health food store's recommendation and put a couple drops of oil in the ear before we did it this time. My doctor felt like the ear candles would work.. She didnt show any hesitation or doubts about my use of candles, other then the concern of using them on a person diagnosed with mental retardation... Now, when you burn an ear candle, there is a white powder, that is the candle/wax residue, I understand that, but there is no way, that what I got out of her ears, and some of the stuff that I get out of other peoples ears could be the residue from the candles... You would be amazed at what you can learn, when you figure out that wiki is personal opinion, and not necessarily fact
