That sounds more like an ear infection cure. At least, that is what my mother would do when I had an earache. It would always make me sneeze and make my eyes water, for some reason.

Well, I have never had an ear infection, but I know for swimmer's ear that you put rubbing alcohol in it to evaporate the water so that it doesn't turn into an ear infection. It does make some sense, though, because in spite of the damage (and this is questionable!) to the edges of the tissue surrounding a laceration (like a scrape, say, or a cut) it does a really good job of sanitising and the bubbles bring dirt and foreign particles to the surface, so maybe it does help kill whatever causes ear infections!

The best cure is someone else babying you.

Also true!

I get swimmer's ear all the time and I never knew this! This is so handy, thank you Katie.
