get the water out, and take aleve and sleep with the hurting ear pointing down to drain it overnight, then do ear drops every morning

stick a hot needle in it

HEAT IS THE BEST THING FOR AN EARACHE.USE A HEATING PAD IF YOU DON`T HAVE ONE USE A HEATED CLOTH.

Opiates....yummy, yummy opiates.

To purchase opiates and other recreational substances in your area, please contact your local dealer.

Put a piece of Cotton in the ear with a little rubbing alcohol on it. Just set it above the lob, don't shove it to the drum.

poor kid use a heating pad and put some vicks on your nose and make sure you put cotton in your ear and take a little drink or two of the good stuff and sleep well God help ya man I know it is very painful do as I say and you will sleep through most of the pain also hum to your self it will put your mind else where take care my poor friend.

you need to see a dr. especially if you loose your balance or you feel pressure you could of ruptured your ear drum and you could do permanent damage to your ear drum.

Hi

Make an appointment to get your ears suctioned, to remove the wax. You may have to wait until the infection is more settled down though.

There are some drops you can get at the pharmacy that help to dry up water that goes into your ear canals, to stop it causing problems in the future - commonly called 'swimmers ear'. I have to use these drops everytime I go swimming and after any shower where I think some water may have got in there - a real pain, but worth the effort, if you can avoid an infection!

Good luck

Tylenol or Advil for pain.
Heating pad to the effected side
Nasal Decongestant like Mucinex D-must ask for this, it is
behind the pharmacy counter now
Drink warm liquids---this helps me the most
and last but not least......fill the ear with
warm olive oil and use a piece of cotton
ball to keep it in.
If still painful call Doctor and request pain medication
