EFFECTIVE TIPS TO REDUCE EAR & TOOTH ACHE

Ear pain can occur due to allergy, filling of wax in the ear, chillness, entry of any foreign body in the ear or infection in the Eustachian tube which connects ear, nose and throat. Before you reach the hospital, if you have pain while you are lying down, sit down with head held up straight.


Chewing some thing like Chewing gum, will help to open up the clogged Eustachian tube and thus reduce the pain, Avoid cold food and water,Take care to avoid wetting the ear. Close the ears with cotton swabs, while bathing. Pouring Ayurvedic medicine, 'Balathailam' , will reduce the pain. Apply warm nutmeg oil in the area surrounding the ear.



Toothache can be a sign of tooth decay. Only a Dental doctor can find the real cause of the pain. But let's try out some ways at home to control the pain. Gargle with warm water or warm water mixed with salt, each time after food or after brushing every night. Apply a little alcohol or clove oil or nutmeg oil to the effected tooth or area.



When there is pain, take a piece of ice and press it against the skin between your thumb and forefinger. If you have severe pain, keep a piece of ice inside the mouth between the tooth and the cheeks for 15 minutes. Repeat four times a day. When you have pain , never apply heat on your cheeks. If you are having an infection of the tooth applying heat will aggravate it.
