7. They leak out of my ear into my mouth
Maybe I should keep my mouth closed when I overfill my ear.

I had to use them once a few years ago and I don't like liquid sloshing around in my ears.

13. I had to do something similar; an antibiotic, and it helps to warm up the bottle
a bit with your hands. It's less jarring on your system if the liquid is the same temp as the inside of the ear. Oh, and it did work.

17. My ear nose and throat doc's RN told me about that.
The bottle is to be kept away from artificial heat or light, I bet. But try to find a way of warming it. Maybe dip it in warm water (BUT NOT HOT) for a minute or two if your hands are cold.

18. when I was a kid, my parents would
let the bottle it sit in warm water for a while. Actually, just a little bit warmer than the inside of the ear (not hot) is very soothing.

23. The garlic clove?
Yep! It was kinda weird, but warm and soothingly squishy. It helped with the pain over the weekend, but I was a little too wigged to keep trying it long enough to see if it would work as an antibiotic, so after that I went to the doc. :)

:hi:

22. Man, I'd NEVER have an earache
... if that was the cure! I don't know what I would do, but I sure wouldn't tell the "pee-er".

Jus' sayin'.
