Mommy has and ear infection and no time to goto the doc....:(

Some Benadryl to help dry it up and relieve the pressure in your middle ear.

Try some aspirin and take a nap. Whenever you wake up, you should feel better. I would try to figure out why you keep them in the first place though.

My doctor had me take some sudafed (the real stuff that they keep behind the counter) for ear pain.

You may need anti-biotics, though . . . can you call your primary and see if they will call in something for you, since you were just seen for that?

Heat up a little olive oil with garlic in it, and put a couple of drops in your ear after it cools a little (you want it warm, but not hot). Use a cotton ball in your ear to keep it from dripping out. I personally like to use warmed sweet oil, but if you have garlic & olive oil it'll work almost as well. Also, ibuprofen if you have it - it helps more with the swelling, better than tylenol in that situation.

Do you have Eustation Tube Dysfunction? DO you have a lot of pressure behind your eardrum and sometimes have popping in your ears? My doc told me to take Mucinex. And drink a lot of fluid.

You can buy over the counter ear drops, but they don't work as well. Maybe your doc would call you in a prescription w/o seeing you?

I've also heard trying a hair dryer helps, but I don't know for sure.
