Home remedy for fluid on the ears?

Ok I have been to the doctor and he keeps prescribing stronger antibiotics for the fluid build up in my ear. But i am not getting any better. I have finals all this week and it is so hard to concentrate not being able to hear. Does anyone have any suggestions to help drain the fluid or relieve the pressure. I have tried popping my ears but it just made it hurt worse>>>>HELP !!!!

Wow Doc918! The answer from her was a very good one. I have also had to use those techniques, they work very well. But I also know of another, try using smoke. Again this may sound funny but it helps, especially when used together with the heating pad remedy. What you need to do is have smoke slowly blown into your ear. The smoke can be of varying types, incense, cigarette, wood, herbal, basically use what you can stand the smell of. Then when it comes to having it blown into the ear, do not blow it out (plug the ear off when blowing, is a bad idea!!), slowly blow over the ear or into it with from a distance (roughly an inch or so). To use this method with the heating pad, for best results, work one ear for a few minutes with the smoke (go by what is comfortable, remember the smoke is just to help the ear beginning to dry and to help it stay dry), then place that ear on the heating pad, while that ear is on the pad take the time to smoke treat the other. And then rotate this ear to the pad after you reach relief with the first. and then use a bit more smoke after the ear(s) have finished on the pad to help ensure the the ear stays dry and relieved.
