Rubbing alcohol is an affordable alternative to prescription ear drops. Rubbing alcohol can be bought at any convenience store and, if used properly, can treat swimmer’s ear. When water gets trapped in the ear canal, usually when swimming, it can cause an infection in the outer ear. To treat, use isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol by applying a few drops of the solution into the infected ear. It can help to rub the outer ear in circular motions to effectively spread the alcohol. Repeat as needed for up to 3 days.

Garlic oil has proven to have healing properties against external ear infections. The oil reduces swelling and ear pain while loosening the ear wax and blockages causing the infection. Make your at-home garlic oil remedy by warming 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil in a saucepan. Next, mince 1 large garlic clove and mix with the oil. Once it is mixed, make sure to strain the mixture to make the solution as smooth as possible before administration. Apply 2 drops of the remedy to your ear while laying down with the infected ear facing up. Keep this position for 10-20 minutes with a damp washcloth held over the ear.
