following suggestions: Hold a warm baked potato to the ear for fifteen minutes. Repeat several times a day until inflammation has

been drawn out. Putting a couple of drops of warmed Olive oil into the ear first will also help draw out the inflammation. Or use

help reduce aches and ringing sensations. If pain persists or if there is a fever, consult your doctor.
