Have someone break your finger (then you won't feel your ear).

Or you could lop it off.

But my suggestion would be to see the doc.

If you have a friend that smokes, blowing smoke gently into the ear seems to help. Two friends of mine swear by this for the ear pain.

I use homeopathy and alternative medicines, but when it's an ear infection I don't mess around. The ear infection will require an antibiotic from your doctor most likely. An ear infection is not something I'd wait on as it can cause permanent damage to hearing if you don't. Not to mentioin the fact that infections can get really bad.

If you do not have insurance or money for dr. visits then your local Free Clinic would be the place to go.

The olive Oil for earaches is one my mother used to do as well. You'll want a virgin olive oil if I recall.

If it is swimmers ear, then you can use rubbing acohol and a small amount of virgin olive oil. You merely put a few drops into the ear then put a cotton ball gently inside a little to keep the contents in. That was given to me by my son's doctor when he was having a lot of trouble. The rubbing acohol is quickly evaportated taking the extra water with it. The olive oil sooths and coats the ear.

Okay, what I do is put some peroxide on your ear. This will kill bacteria that you have in your ear. This should work and should be done every four hours or so. You should also get a cloth and make it warm with an iron. This will release pressure in your ear. One other thing you can do is put smoke in your ear and then close your ears so that you can trap the smoke. This will make the ear pain less painful. If nothing works, go visit the doctor. Hope you feel better.

Ear infection? Don't know about that. Home remedy for an Ear Ache... Warm (about 110 degrees) olive oil and pour it into the ear, use a cotton ball to hold the warm oil in the ear, usually works in a few hours.

Pure Lemon Juice!!!
Get a lemon and juice it. Put the juice from it in the ear. The acid from the lemon kills the bacteria that causes the ear infection.
Trust me on this one. My first child had horrible ear infections, then I met a doctor who told me this and I have done it ever since. I have four children and to date, 0 ear infections. This can be used as a preventative measure.
Also, neck massages and Chiropractic manipulation can help reduce the pressure around the eustacian tube that is causing the drainage problems.
DO NOT PUT ANYTHING in your ears like q-tips, etc.

try and hot compress to the ear that will ease it slightly. Otherwise you are going to have to go the doctor and get an antibiotic - The question is are you sure it is an infection and not swimmers ear (fluid behind the ear drum) If it is swimmers ear you can take equal parts hydrogen peroxide and warm water and soak it in the ear and it will relieve it somewhat. Also you can take an over the counter cough syrup with antihistamine in it to dry it up.
