10 Remedies for an Earache
Earache Remedy #10: Sleeping Upright
One of the biggest problems with an earache can occur when it comes to bedtime. Sleeping on the ear can cause more pain but it can be difficult not to roll over when sleeping. Having the ear level with the rest of the body can also make draining less effective and might even contribute to swelling.
Where possible, use pillows and blankets to try and maintain a sleeping position that is as upright as possible. If you can get to sleep in a comfortable chair, then even better. While it is often easier said than done, the difference can make it well worth the effort.
