TWQ: Odd Cures
This week, I had water in the ear, which caused it to block up. All sorts of cures were proposed, such as jumping up and down on one leg, and lying on a sock of warm rice. TWQ (the Weekend Question) asks if you have heard of any odd cures for problems.

Rubbing vinegar on a sunburn which actually works pretty well to take the sting out even though you smell like a pickle for a little while!
Plug one ear while drinking a glass of water to cure hiccups - odd but it works!
a teaspoon of sugar for hiccups.
a drop of alcohol in the ear for water.
a martini for my nerves? ha ha

I like the Empress Bee's sense of humour. I hope you recover from your ailment soon, captain. I'm stuck for answers to this. If someone knows a cure for hayfever, that would be most welcome.
Ellee, ain't no cure although there are a few things that ease it a lot..
A friend of mine suffers for this or similar and swears by Otrivine Nasal Drops not spray, drops..
Me I don't have any allergies apart from the BS :P
Hmm oddest thing I've come across is vinegar on a sting.
There is only one cure for hiccups: Take two glasses of ice cold water and down them. This is quite uncomfortable, but it removes the esophageal air bubble causing the spasms. It was given to me by a Pharmacist. As Elvis would say, "Thank you. Thank you very much!". : )
The ear drops did the trick. I casn hearv well now.
