I used to stick the peppermint oil cotton up my nose. I mean, of you can’t breathe anyway, right? I figured, if I die, it’s been a nice ride! It helped to put a little Vaseline on the area around the nose to keep from burning the skin.

A garlic clove split and inserted in either ear is my go-to for ear infections. Of course, no one wants to get within a city block of me, which is cool, even desirable.

Good luck!
