Thanks Jenny, I wonder if they're the same as I got, i.e. the Otex ones, but I think it's hydrogen peroxide in those, I'll take a look. I wish the same would happen to my wax, but I think it's well compacted, hard and crusty and nothing is touching it yet Lol, sounds a but like me at the moment Jen!!!! xxxx

Oh that's interesting, coz I think I have the same, as I read online that if I rub the bit downwards behind my ear lobe it will bring some relief, but of course, it's very, very painful to even do that atm, sometimes I can, and it does bring relief, so I wonder if that actually is the escutcheon tube under there? Sorry you had the same thing and at Christmas too It's really is the worst pain and I've had some pretty bad tooth abcesses, but nothing quite touches this! Thanks for my hugs xxx

Thanks Vicki, I'm doing it half a dozen times a day, especially when it's really painful, it seems to help with the pain. Sorry you suffer with this too, but I've never had ear problems ever, except once when I was a kid I remember mum pouring some hot olive oil into my ear (think it was a bit too hot, but then that's my mum lol!)

I feel sooooo guilty too, that I got your lovely card, and yours is still sitting on the table, coz I started doing them, felt so c*ap, that I just left them there, I'm so sorry Vicki, but Happy Christmas to you and Baz from us lot!xxxxxxx

No it's not the same (hydrogen peroxide is bleach)
I have got a thing about these drops and won't use them but thats just me.

Aitch! For heavens sake, hon, don't worry about a bloody Christmas card......

Have only had earache once and NEVER want to have it again. Do hope you get some relief soon

All ear drops should be warmed to body temp H, wheat bags are good substitute for hot water bottle(inside a towel)

I have only once had earache when I was a lot younger & I was on holiday in Austria. My hosts(was a school swop thingy)made made me a Lavender pillow which was warmed in their Aga like oven & used warmed Olive Oil-the relief was wonderful.

Oh H you are in a bad then! Sorry I just sent you a PM to ask if (and hoping that) you were over all this! (Don't need to reply now) It must be awful and like you say it's sure gonna mess up your Xmas. Here's hoping it doesn't get worse and somehow you can get by until the doc. can see you. Will be thinking of you and Dave this weekend but if it's any help we'll not be going anywhere either, just too much dam work digging the car out

Awwww....so sorry to hear this Aitch. I've suffered with a few ear infections and spent Christmas Eve one year in A&E with a chest infection so know what it's like to be poorly at Christmas.

I was sat New Years Eve in my dressing gown and my newly purchased 'shoes'. Bet buying some new shoes online will ease the pain a little

Big hugs honey xxxxxx

ouch Helena, OH had a blocked ear and he has a lot of pain with it, it wasn't infected though, just painful, the doctor suggested drops (called waxol, not sure what it will be called there ) or olive oil to soften it up before they syringed it out (about 3days later) gross but cool at the same time. And the pain went a few hours later, I can't believe they wouldn't do it sooner, it is so quick and simple and immediate relief.
Hopefully something can be done soon xxxx

You have my sympathy

I suffer with ear ache all the time I've spent the last two months at the ear, nose and throat department every week....I found warm olive oil to be the best, then a hot water bottle to help melt the wax.

Really hope you get some relief from it, and soon *Hugs*
