You can use analgesics which can be prescribed by your doctor, but that's a short term solution. If the pain repeats often, it indicates some ear condition.

There are many different remedies for an earache, and depending on what caused it, like altitude or infection. Dr.Oz once said to pour hydrogen peroxide in the ear then drain.

Go to the doctor and see if it is caused by infection - antibiotics may help. Ibuprofen or paracetamol also help ease inflammation and pain. Try a hot compress held against your ear. Lying down can make the pain worse so prop yourself up when sleeping.

A good tip is to avoid any unneeded exposure to the elements. Wind and water are especially tough on the ears, and when met in combination they can create a painful symptom known as swimmer's ear.
