Mash up some garlic, put it in a little folded up piece of cheesecloth & let it steep in warmed oil for about a half hour. Squeeze out as much of the garlic-infused oil as possible & put a few drops into the infected ear. (you can use mineral oil but a mild vegetable oil, like canola or sunflower oil is better because your body will absorb it)

Strong goldenseal tea (made w/distilled water is best) is pretty good for minor infections, too - and you can drink it to give your immune system a boost (but yuck!)
