Is there anything over the counter to treat an earache,not ringing in the ears?!
Question: Sure...lots of eardrops can be purchased at your local store. I use olive oil warmed in the microwave with chopped garlic, or garlic juice...works wonders for me

There are drops but you should really get checked for an inner ear infection.
I know this is a weird recommendation but try a hair dryer aimed at your ear.
This should help.

Yes Similasan makes a very good ear drop medicine for ear aches that is sold over the counter.

If the earache is caused by an infection, then unfortunately no.
polymyxin ear drops are generally prescribed for outer and middle ear infections, when the eardrum isn't punctured. you might get lucky and be able to find them at a local supplier without needing a prescription, but that is a long shot. I can't even order them from a canadian pharmacy without a prescription.
You could try garlic oil. Here is a website which explains it:

It is also worth noting that the ingredients in polymyxin ear drops are the same ingredients in extra strength polymycin antibacterian ointment, except the ointment has an oil base. But if you put that ointment in your ears, and it hurts you, its your own damned fault. Proceed with caution. Personally, I would read the instructions on the linked page, and try the garlic oil for a few days first.
Good luck to you.
If infection Grapefruit Seed Extract liquid, diluted 5 drops in 3 oz of water. Use a dropper to put several drops in ear.
If irritation, then tea tree oil and/or garlic drops. Warm olive oil (also sold as sweet oil in stores).
you have an ear infection go see a Dr
Similasan ear drops are great. A couple drops of warm olive oil also works. With either one just make sure you let it sit in there for a couple minutes before you tilt your head the other way to let it run out.
A drop or two of oil of oregano might help. Make sure you let it drain deep into your ear, though. Don't let it dribble out.
warm sweet oil is commonly used for earaches and is also sold over the counter. but a warm blow dryer aimed at your ear will help as well
