Pulsatilla

Indicated for ear infections that follow or accompany a cold.  The ear may be hot and swollen, with a feeling that something is pressing out.  Pain can be worse in the evening and at night, as well as worse from heat, with a pulsing sensation.  Deep itching may be felt inside, especially if infections are chronic.  A child needing Pulsatilla usually is sad and tearful, wanting to be held and comforted.
