When I was a kid I used to get a lot of ear infections. The doctor used to tell my mum to drip a little warmed olive oil into it to soothe it. (back when olive oil was a medical supply bougt from the chemist :P) Bout five or six years ago I had an ear infection and did the warm oil thing (which is very soothing) and told my doctor and she said if there's a little tear in the drum the oil can prevent it healing and lead to permanent damage.
