Remedy
Earache
Warm (not hot) mullein oil only if the drum is intact. A warm cloth. Sit them up.
- Look: no blood, no pus running, no recent slap or cotton-swab adventure.
- Body-warm mullein oil, 3–4 drops, loose cotton. A warm bag of rice on the ear.
- If they are a child with fever and a very sore ear, the oil is comfort. Watch for the bone behind the ear getting tender.
Draining ear, dizzy, stiff neck, or a mastoid that hurts to tap — Illness, not oil.
