Ouch, I know that pain honey!
This is what I do...
1) I get a washcloth.
2) I run under warm water (NOT really HOT water mind you)
3) I tilt my head to the side so that the ear that is hurting is facing the floor (that way no water will drip into your ear...
4) Hold the warm washcloth over your ear completely and hold it there until it feels cool.
5) Run it under warm water again and repeat the steps about 5-10 times.
Tips: I never use ear drops when I have a bad ear ache unless a doc says so, usually makes my ache worse. I NEVER use Q-Tips in my ear ever...that can damage the eardrum if you put it past the outside of the canal...
Call your doc in the morning if the ache isn't gone. Could be an ear infection hun!

I have had frequent ear aches. This helped. take a wash cloth an wet it with hot water put it in the microwave for about 20 seconds. Test it make sure it is not too hot -but as hot as you can stand it.
Place it in a plastic baggy. Take a dry thin towel and wrap it. (one layer)
Hold it against your cheek near the ear.
It will feel worse when you try to sleep. Try propping up your head in bed with extra pillows.
PS you may also need a Doctor and ear drops to get rid of.
You will need to get ibuprofen first chance you get. It will not only help the pain but help to reduce inflammation.Health Question & Answer

hydrogen peroxide. fill the ear with it. keep it there until it stops bubbling, that can be anywhere from 5 minutes to 30 minutes. pour it out. it stops the pain for a few hours and heals the infection. do that every 4 hours, or sooner if the pain comes back. then continue for at least a full day after it heals.Health Question & Answer
You could put the hair dryer on low and let that blow into your ear for a little while. I'm not sure why that works, but it does. If it keeps up, I would go see a doctor and get some ear drops. You could also use a hot, damp washcloth and put that on your ear too.Health Question & Answer
