A bad ear day

I have been having trouble with my ears and I read somewhere that a warm salt pack is good for your ear. I told my friend at work that all I had was a salt packet. I wondered if I could cut it in half and heat it in the microwave and use it as a salt pack.

I'm not sure how to make a salt pack, but I do think people would look at me funny if I had salt packets coming out of my ears ;-)
