Otitis - treatment with folk remedies

Otitis is called ear inflammation. Depending on the localization of the inflammatory process, otitis occurs external, middle and inner. Most often in the treatment of otitis, doctors prescribe a course of antibiotics, as well as anti-inflammatory drops that relieve edema, reduce pain and clear the auditory canals. Nevertheless, there are situations in which drug treatment is not available. Do not despair. Otitis or ear inflammation can be treated with folk remedies.

Treatment of otitis in the home

The first thing you need to do if the temperature rises and you feel pain in your ear is to go to bed. Adherence to bed rest is an important factor on the way to successful treatment of otitis. If you use traditional medicine, then treatment of otitis can be done with drops of "Sofraks", "Otipaks", "Otinum". In parallel with the drops, you can make warming cotton swabs and invest them in a sore ear. Wet cotton swabs can be moistened in boric or camphor alcohol. Droplets and alcohol must be heated to body temperature before use. People's means, tested by more than one generation, are popular. Among them - mummies, onions, garlic. There are many folk recipes for the treatment of otitis to relieve the pain symptom and inflammation in the patient's ear, as well as for the resumption of hearing.

Otitis - symptoms and treatment with folk remedies

Before you start treatment with folk remedies, you need to determine the type of disease. Distinctive symptoms and types of otitis:

3. Internal otitis - pain in the ear, dizziness, nausea, a sensation of noise in the ears, gait disturbance, twitching of the eyeballs.
