The best thing you can do for an earache is to go and see a doctor. Sometimes it could be an ear infection and will go away on its own but it could be something more serious such as a torn or ruptured eardrum.

It depends on where the hurt is. If it's on the outside, it is most likely an infection and will require medication. If it's inside, try a hot water bottle on the side of your face, some tylenol or ibuprofen and see how things go. If there is any discharge, you need to be seen.

Take an over the counter pain medication such as Aspirin, Tylenol, or Excedrin. If the earache returns and is persistent, see a doctor. You may have an ear infection and need antibiotics.

If the pain is in the outer ear region, use a cold compress and pain killers. Could be a pimple. If it is inner, suggest seeing a physician, or clearing the ear canal of wax and substances with a single drop of mineral oil in the ear canal.

I would suggest that you first see a doctor immediately so you can determine what is causing you ear to hurt. From there, the doctor could prescribe you some medicine.
