I have been fortunate enough to have only one bout of ear infection with my two children (touch wood). I had never heard of this remedy but next time myself or my child is wriggling in pain I will definitely be giving it a try. Basically all you do is warm the salt in the sock or other cloth ( a draw string bag would be good too ). For the full tutorial and a lot more information on WHY this helps check out this educating blog post. What are you remedies for a ear ache? Share below. Rock Salt For Ear Infections.

The salt in the sock definitely works, it’s an old remedy. also sleep propped up which helps too. You won’t get a lot of sleep, but it alleviates the pain until you can see your doctor for treatment.
Thank you for the link! This is a new one on me – and I have an earache right now, from the cold night air blowing so hard, tonight. The question is whether I can find a white sock, lol.
Can you use rock salt? Like standard ice melt salt? Or does it have to be strictly sea salt?
