* I always find that if you massage the ear lobe -- the lower part of the ear, where you wear an earring -- the pain will minimize. * A drop or two of warmed garlic oil placed in the ear is great for ear aches.

∙ 13y agoTake a painkiller appropriate to your age, aspirin, paracetamol (acetaminophen) or ibuprofen are all good if you are over twelve years old but follow the instructions on the pack.
A warm compress or warm (not too hot) hot water bottle on the affected ear may help.
Most ear infections resolve without the need for antibiotics so, if the pain is due to an infection, it is possible that your doctor will only prescribe painkillers. If the pain is due to an obstruction, try a few drops of warm olive oil in your ear canal and insert a cotton-wool plug to catch any discharge. Don't poke anything inside your ear and make sure you can remove the plug easily.
