    I get them a lot. Try laying on a heating pad on low. A decongestant can also take the pressure off. There are drops I use but I'm not home to tell you the brand. They're amazing. OTC at any pharmacy. But if it doesn't clear up in a day or two, go to the dr.

    Down here we use sweet oil. Put a drop in your ear and lay on the opposite side, and put a heating pad over it. I hope you feel better. If it lasts for more that 2 days, I would see a doctor.

    Similasan Earache Relief Ear Drops. They are natural drops. You can pick them up at most pharmacies.
    I use them for my daughter when she has ear aches.

    They try not to give antibiotics for ear pain automatically any more. Pain killer. It will usually resove on its own. Sorry you have pain.

    Ohh I feel your pain! I get ear pains and ear infections a lot still (even though you're not meant to get them as an adult grr). Painkillers - take both ibuprofen and paracetamol! That combined with a good nasal spray usually helps for me. I also prop myself up on pillows at night because laying down makes the pain worse.

    I hope you feel better soon!
