Garlic's antimicrobial properties make it effective for pain relief. Warm garlic-infused oil can be applied externally around the ear, avoiding the ear canal.

Ginger's natural anti-inflammatory properties can help soothe ear pain caused by mild infections. You can apply fresh ginger juice or ginger-infused oil around the outer ear canal, but take care not to put it directly into the ear.
