You do need to see a doctor asap. You could try lying on a hot water bottle to relieve the pain.
But the only answer is antibiotics.

Well, you need antibiotics and pain killers. If there was no pus, I would have suggested home remedies like Rescue Remedy Drops.
If you cannot take antibiotics for some reason, get hold of Hypericum Mother tincture and clean your ear with a few drops of the medicine in water. Also take a few drops of Hypericum added to water internally. But I would really urge you to go to a doctor.

whats up! properly, once you've been having those complications for awhile, think ofyou've got to have tubes put on your ears, or get your tonsils bumped off, (thats what got here about to me) Im particular you understand that your ears and throat linked, and in case you didnt understand, you are able to definetly experience it. For now, placed some drops of hydrogen peroxide on your ears to help sparkling out the water, and in the adventure that your going to self medicate with antibiotics, you need to end the bottle or take for 3 or 4 days. One wont do some thing. you need to take a chain of them. And make a medical doctors appointment!!!

You really should go to a clinic or hospital quickly, don't plug it tightly with the cotton, for a mild earache I've used my blow dryer on warm not hot to get the wax and gunk out, but only on warm, hot will make it worse. But if your dripping pus something serious has happened and you most likely need antibiotics. Please see a Dr. ASAP good luck

If you are in the UK go to an NHS drop in centre NOW. I do sympathise with you - I get real problems with my ears blocking up with wax so bad that I went to an NHS walk in centre and the couldn't see my eardrum for the wax!. DO NOT put cotton wool buds in your ears. You can put some warm (not hot) olive oil in your ear and lie down so it stays in there for 10 minutes - that will realease and soften any hard wax. The pus thing is a bit worrying - you may have something in there - go to a walk in centre now please. I hope you feel better soon.x

The old fashion way to relieve ear ache pain is to blow smoke in your ear. From a candle wrapped in a paper cone so the smoke comes out the small end into your ear, or from a cigarette, have the smoker blow the UNinhaled smoke into your ear.
But if you have discharge from your ear, you have more than just an ache, and you really should see a doctor!
If you have an infection you really need to get treatment for it.

The best remedies for earache: immediate remedy--use a blow dryer, and direct the air directly onto ear for a few minutes.
For a cure, use a drop or 2 of Oil of Oregano on a Q-tip and dab it onto the ear canal and in behind the earlobe and in front of the little cartilage in front of the ear canal. That should cure it. Do this a few times a day for a few days.

It's an ear infection. You need antibiotics. Go to a doctor.
Oh, right, it's Sunday. Warm, damp compresses (warm water on a washcloth) on that ear for today, and take 2 Tylenol extra strength (the 500mg kind), and 800mg of Motrin. Follow dosing directions on the bottle after that for pain control.

Umm that sounds real serious. I would see a dr immediately. If it wasnt dripping pus and just felt stuffed there is a product that loosens wax.. But I really sugest seeking medical help because it sounds a lot more serious then having a wax build up.

i'm hoping that you are reading this after your return from the emergency room and/or physician. pus equals infection. you waited too long to treat this problems with what you have at home. remember, the ear is so close to your brain, don't mess around and wait....get medical attention before you become acutely ill.
