All head pains are extremely intense, including ear infections. Cold weather, wind, drafts, especially affect children causing very unpleasant infections. Of course, there are medications to ease the pain, but fortunately, there is a simple and effective trick. All you need is a cotton sock and about half a kilogram of salt.
The sock must be cotton. Fill it with salt and make a knot at the top. Then, put the sock in a pan and heat it on each side for about 3 minutes (that's why it's important that the sock is made of natural materials). The optimal temperature is around 60 degrees Celsius.
When you press the heated sock against the infected ear, the pain will almost instantly disappear, and the sock will remain warm for almost an hour.
The same trick can be used for toothaches.
