Cure for itching ear?

[flying_babyb]

So I’ve got an inner ear itch. It’s been itching since yesterday on and off. How do I stop it? It’s driving me batty!

I don't know...a q-tip? kabob skewer? eraser side of a pencil...or sharp side.

Its probably from sinus drainage. take some benadryl and have a nice nights sleep!

You can try a solution of 1/2 vinegar and 1/2 water. Drip a little in there to clean things up. It acts as an antiseptic. Don't put qtips, keys, bobbie pins or anything else in there. You don't want a torn eardrum(trust me on this.)

Call you doctor in the morning.

Benadryl. I hate those itches... feels like you can almost reach it with your tongue and almost with your finger.. but you can't reach it at all!

I have it chronically. Go to a good ENT. But for now cortizone works pretty good for a while. My ENT told me to keep it dry no matter what. Mine is caused by allergy btw.

Oh and my PSA for the day:

Do not, I repeat DO NOT put a q-tip down there unless you like your ear swelling up the size of your face and spending the first nice spring day in the ER hooked up to an antibiotic IV...I'm just sayin' (I know I should have known better lol)

Kabob skewer?

Okay, no q-tip then...try the skewer or pencil.

Now where were you with the good advice when I was cramming a Q-tip down my ear?

I was going to recommend Benadryl as well. When my allergies really flare, I get itchy ears, itchy roof of my mouth, itchy throat...you get the picture. Benadryl always helps with the itching, plus it knocks me out so I get a good night's sleep.

I was going to suggest vinegar, too. It helps!

My ear Dr told me to do part vinegar/part alcohol and rinse my ears with it. It really helps.
