The Top 4 Best Homeopathic Remedies for Earaches
There are few things in life as miserable as an ear infection.
The last few years for some reason or another I randomly started getting them.
To put it bluntly: it is a truly terrible experience.
It is the kind of thing that you can’t help but notice every moment of the day.
The nagging feeling is just constantly there, making you pine for a time that your ear simply did not ache.
So alas, here are a few of the top homeopathic remedies for ear infections:
1. Pulsatilla
One of the top remedies for chronic ear infections in children (along with Chamomilla). They may have thick discharge from the ears, coupled with a cold or infection involving thick green discharge from the nose. The ears may feel itchy, and often worse at night. They may be exceptionally weepy, emotional, and desire a lot of cuddling/affection.
2. Belladonna
Typically one of the most painful, throbbing, pulsating types of ear infections. Most commonly affecting the right ear. Can coincide with a high fever (skin being hot to the touch), as well as throat pain. They may have a red face, and be showing sensitivity to light.
3. Chamomilla
A very common remedy for ear infections associated with teething. There can be very severe stitching ear pain, causing irritability, with a desire to be carried. To differentiate from Pulsatilla: the crying from a Pulsatilla will seem more pitiful and sad, whereas the Chamomilla crying will seem more angry/immediate.
4. Merc sol
Usually for more advanced ear infections coupled with swollen lymph nodes. There may be intense shooting pains, and drooling during sleep.
Other notable mentions: if there is discharge and it is white, the cell salt Kali Mur; or if there is discharge and it is yellow the cell salt Calc Sulph. If the pain feels like a splinter, consider Hepar Sulph.

So How do i take these?
It is typically suggested to take 3-4 pellets of the 30c potency (see post: Homeopathic Potencies Explained) at a time. If you experience improvement, then only repeat when the improvement wears off (see post: When to Take a Dose in Homeopathy).
Homeopathy is effectively an energy medicine, making it safe for all ages. However do be mindful this post is for educational purposes based on homeopathic tradition. Do not hesitate to seek immediate medical attention in children, see full disclaimer.
Other Healing Modalities
Another healing modality to consider alongside homeopathy for ear infections is chiropractic. Often ear infections can occur because fluid gets trapped as a result of skull bones getting out of alignment. A quick adjustment can help infections drain quickly.
