The garlic inside the kitchen roll is causing a fairly intense stinging sensation. I've just taken the kitchen roll out because I feel a burning sensation and hatepain. The juice of the garlic does seem to be working its way inside to the problem without the kitchen roll staying in for half an hour. I am getting some pain relief now. I was on the verge of phoning the emergency doctor before your helpful hint so thanks very much for your help and advice. I must remind myself not to lend an ear to any of my pupils' problems tomorrow! Don't stand so close to me......   Thank you . Can't believe it worked. Comments By: Heather McKaig Two o'clock in the morning and my 16 year old was in absolute agony. As soon as I put garlic juice in her ear (and this was only the stuff that comes in a jar not the real mccoy)she stopped being in such awful distress. Thank you. This will be in my medicine cabinet from now on.   Garlic juice stings and burns Comments By: William I have used onion juice sucsesfully for ear infections. Recently I decided to up the ante.
