If you are taking antibiotics you need to finish your course.... I am definitely not a fan of antibiotics.
I am very alternative medicine... this has worked for me every time. At the natural health food store you can get GARLIC AND GOLDEN SEAL OIL. Put drops into the ear and cover with a warm wet wash cloth about 4 times an hour for a couple of hours until pain starts to subside. At bedtime the pain tends to get worse so put it in right before bed and get up a few hours later to treat the sufferer again.
Once while I was on a trip I did not have some of the oil so I made my own. Take olive oil and a clove of garlic and heat for about 10_15 seconds in the microwave. smash THE GARLIC IN THE OIL. strain ALL OF THE LITTLE CLUMPS OUT OF THE OIL. use THAT OIL FOR DROPS IN THE EAR. garlic IS A WONDERFUL NATURAL ANTIBIOTIC. IT WILL SOAK INTO THE INNER EAR AND ATTACK THE ..oops.. Sorry about the caps..... it will attack the infection in the inner ear.
DO NOT DO THIS FOR SOMEONE THAT HAS TUBES IN THEIR EARS! Consult a physician if they have tubes in their ears.
Good luck! I have never taken my kid to the Dr. because of an ear infection... I always treated it at home this way. :)
You can also use a hair dryer set on low heat to blow into the ear indirectly for some relief from pain.
Good luck! See the book PRESCRIPTIONS FOR NUTRITIONAL HEALING

it actually would depend why you have an ear ache ,if it is not an infection which i guess it's not since you said the doc's path does not work. It may be a muscular pain the only way to try to stop that pain is try ibuprofen and a heating pad. If you have fibromyalgia and that is giving you the pain then your in for a long road of pain, but a heating pad will help and ibuprofen until the fibro episode passes which last as long as it wants to.Then there is an old indian remedy which consist of rolling a newspaper into a cone and burning the other end for a bit. Hope it helps I had an earache for over a year Good luck

They sell ear ache pain medicine over the shelf. I have bought it before. Also you can have someone roll a newspaper and put the closed end into your ear then someone lights the other end of the newspaper. As the paper starts to light close to your ear have the person lighting the newspaper through it on the floor. This is an old mexican remedy that most of my family does, it really does work.

Summer ear ache can be from dirty water in the pool. The cold infection has gone up the tube of your ear from the throat area and grows in the ear. Treat for a cold infection. Use vitamin c immediately and also fresh lemon juice every half hour. Keep the ear extra warm and sleep until better. Aspirin will help the blood move faster.

Try Mullein oil. You can get it at any health food place.
What it does is soften up accumulated material built up in the ear which is what you may have over time. Take a hot shower, allowing hot water to get in the affected ear. See what happens then.
They're doctors. Not saints. It doesn't mean they'll deal straight with you.

put hydrogen peroxyde in your ear- it'll clean it out of any bacteria that could be causing your pain. I do it all the time and it really helps.
If you've never done it before you might end up leaving it in there for a while. Just lay on your side andput it in your ear and leave it in until you stop hearing the "fizzing" or "bubbling" and you'll really be able to notice the pressure release!

Turn a blow drier on to its warmest setting and aim it at the ear with the ear ache, about 10-12 inches away. Be sure to move it away when your ear gets too hot!

lay your ear on a heating pad for 5-10 mintues. then take it off the heating pad for the same amount of time, and rub your ear. take the medicine that your doctor prescribed, and buy the organic rememdy to ear aches at walgreens (if they have it). then repeat the heat pad process
good luck

Take a towel and place it into a microwave and warm it up good... about 1 minute.
Then take that towel, wrap it up with another towel and lay your ear down on top. That will make your aching ear feel much better.
