Olive Oil
Olive oil can provide fast relief from an earache. It serves as a lubricant and helps get rid of an infection in the ear. Olive oil can also be helpful in stopping buzzing sensations inside the ears.
Put 3-4 drops of lukewarm olive oil as ear drops into the ear canal.
Alternatively, you can dip a cotton bud in the oil and put it firmly into the ear.
You can also use mustard oil in the same way.

Onion
Onion is one of the most readily available home remedies for an earache. The antiseptic and antibacterial properties in onions work well in treating the problem.
Extract one tablespoon of onion juice from grated onions and heat it over low heat. Then put 2-3 drops of the juice into affected ear 2-3 times a day.
Crush a fresh onion and wrap it tightly in a piece of clean cloth. Hold the cloth over the infected ear for about 5 to 10 minutes. Repeat the process several times a day.

Garlic is a strong analgesic as well as antibiotic, therefore, gives a fast relief from earache. Take 1 teaspoon of crushed garlic and heat it in 2 tbsp of sesame oil for a few minutes. Now, let it cool and then strain it. Now, pour 2-3 drops of this oil in the paining ear.

Mullein Oil
Common mullein (Verbascum thapsus) is used for treating respiratory ailments and many other illnesses.  As an ear treatment, the flowers and buds are infused in olive oil, then applied to the ear in the same manner as the garlic oil above.  To infuse the flowers in oil, gather enough blooms to partially fill a small jar.  Cover with olive oil and let sit for a week or two.  Strain and place in a tinted bottle. You can watch a video showing how to gather mullein flowers below. I like to let my blossoms set in a shallow bowl or on a plate for an hour or so before putting them in a jar with oil to give any buggies hiding in them a chance to escape. You can also add a clove of chopped garlic to your oil for extra germ fighting.

Basil Leaves
Crush some basil leaves and extract its juice. Put at least 2 drops of it into the infected ear to get relief from earache.
