Though adults are not affected as frequently as children, it is important for adults to be aware of how adult ear infection can affect them. Adult ear infection is caused by infection in the Eustachian tube, near the inner ear. The Eustachian tube connects the inner ear to the nasal passages in order to drain fluid from the ears and equalize pressure between outside and inside of the body, but when fluid or mucous builds up in the Eustachian tube, it is an easy target for infection. One of the main homeopathic medicines for an ear infection which is very painful is Hepar sulphur. Typically the pain is worse in the middle of the night, with the child shrieking with pain. Those who need Hepar sulphur are exquisitely sensitive to pain and to cold air hence the shrieking.And you’ll not be able to comfort them until you give them the medicine. Then things will suddenly become quiet and peaceful again.

When your appetite returns you should be on an immune-boosting diet to continue your inner ear infection treatment plan. Your diet should include some good quality protein foods with each meal. These foods are essential for cell health and repair and to form a healthy immune system. Protein rich foods include chicken, fish, lean red meat, cheese, eggs and whey powder. There are many situations in which adult ear infection can surface. A cold can cause fluid build up and infection in the Eustachian tube. Post nasal drip may also contribute. An adult does not necessarily need to be sick to get adult ear infection. Often, the infection is caused by mucous being blown into the Eustachian tubes by blowing the nose or failing to clean the liquid out of the ear with a cotton swab after showering.
