For folks looking to find comfort from earache pain I suggest the least invasive path first. I use a hot water bottle with the hottest water I can stand and lay down with my non painful ear on the pillow and the painful ear facing up. I play peaceful music and place the hot water bottle on the ear. The peaceful music and the moist heat draws out the pain and also relaxes the body. I usually find the relief for myself and for my coaching client within 20 minutes. I repeat this method with 20 minutes on and off for a few hours when I can relax.
If at work then I suggest warm olive oil drizzled slowly into the ear and stuff a cotton ball in the ear so the oil does not ruin my clothing. Do not compress the cotton ball too tightly to further add compression and pain to the ear.
My children's pediatrician always told me that even ear infections usually clear up on their own over time, but we modern families are too impatient and do not like to see our children suffer so we rush to the doctor to get antibiotics.
I hope this helps! Let me know what you doing orders to relieve your earaches.
