How to Use Sweet Oil to Treat Ear Pain
- 1). Warm a hot/cold pack in the microwave.
- 2). Lie down on a couch or bed so that the ear that doesn't need treatment is against the pillow.
- 3). Have someone help you put six drops of sweet oil in your ear canal with the liquid dropper.
- 4). Lay the warmed hot/cold pack on the affected ear to warm the oil.
- 5). Lightly massage the spot where your ear meets your cheek to help the oil flow into the ear canal.
- 6). Remain lying down with the pack over your ear for 10 minutes.
