i am sorry for ear hurting. i've had earaches and know how painful they can be. treatment of an earache is dependent on its cause. did the ent doctor in addition to eliminating infection and tmj have any other diagnostic guesses on the cause of your pain? some reasons for earaches include: - moisture in the ear canal - wax build-up - sinus problems - ear drum injuries - rupture of the eardrum due to loud noises - and many other causes. i personally would not put anything into my ear unless prescribed by a doctor. self medicating of earaches is discouraged. with that said a few drops of hydrogen peroxide should not be harmful. other "old time home remedies" that i've heard about are warm ginger ale drops warm sesame oil with garlic drops (the healing prosperities of garlic have been well documented) and warm compresses applied carefully so as not to burn sensitive skin around the ear. the best advise is to follow up with the ent doctor for specific treatment instructions if that is not possible then you should see another doctor. if your pain becomes worse or does not go away in a few days then a visit to your hospital's emergency room is justified. i wouldn't put off seeking professional medical treatment very long. waiting too long to receive professional treatment for your earache may lead to permanent hearing loss.
will hydrogen peroxide hurt inner ear? . my ear has been hurting for weeks now and i have been to my ent doctor but he does not know why it is hurting so bad. i had someone tell me to put several drops of hydrogen peroxide in my ear but i was concerned and wanted a professional oppinion. i am getting to the point i will try anything but i do not want to cause any damage to my hearing. my doctor did say it was not infected and not tmj. i have not ran a fever. it does throb and hurts deep.
