Actually, ear infections USUALLY (not always) clear up on their own without antibiotics. My daughter gets ear infections every so often, and she's only been on antibiotics for them once. My boyfriend had one a couple weeks ago, complete with drainage and all, and his cleared up on it's own. A lot of the time, they are caused by a virus rather than a bacteria. In the meantime, you can go to any drugstore and buy earache relief drops. I think they run about $5.99. I always make a warm compress for my daughter (and my boyfriend too). I just take an old sock (preferably one that's a little on the thick side), fill it with rice and throw it in the microwave for a couple minutes. The rice retains the heat... be sure to test it before applying it though.. sometimes they get to hot!
Ask a pharmacist for an ear drop to soothe the pain. Don't know what it's called, but I got ear infections all the time as a kid and my mom would put these drops in. They would kill the pain almost immediately!
And FYI that may help the pain but only antibiotics will stop the infection. Don't let it go too long or you will risk permanent damage to your ears!!!
Put Tea tree oil ON A COTTON BALL and placed the Cotton ball in your ear overnight. The vapors help heal the ear. Do not put the tea tree directly in your ear.
You may also try warm olive oil drops... that can be placed in the ear at will.
Garlic oil or a garlic clove helped me.I know they say never stick anything in your ear but you got to do something.Yes it does stink but garlic is a natural antibiotic.You should eat it too to fight it from the inside.I have also heard that sweet oil drops help but have never used it myself.
Hold your hands over you ears with palms facing your ears. Say to yourself that you are healing your ears perfectly now.
Everyone is a healer, but it just needs practice. I will send you healing now if you agree.

You should only get an antibiotic if it is severe. Right now, use tylenol, ibuprofen, or naproxen for the pain and wait 3 days to see if it clears up. If it doesn't, than go to a doctor.
