If you don't have ear drops, my doctor said to use olive oil. Put a drop or two of olive oil in each ear, and just wait, you will hear a pop in your ears and you will be fine. He said it also helps clean your ears out. I know it might sound weird but it really works. I just got over an ear ache and that was my remedy.

I agree with the olive oil, with an addendum.
Place several tablespoons of olive oil in a saucepan and turn on low. Add 1 - 2 teaspoons crushed garlic to this and allow to steep for at least 5 minutes. Strain well. (You can do this with a good coffee filter or a washcloth) When the oil is cooled somewhat, but still warm, lie on your side and drop about 5 drops into the ear. Cover with a warm washcloth and massage the area gently. Remain on your side for another 10 - 15 minutes. Then do the other side (even tho it doesn't hurt) (it has a tendency to spread, and it just makes sense to treat both sides, trust me just do it!) This should work the first time but can be repeated until the desired results are obtained. The warmth of the oil melts through the earwax and the garlic is antibacterial.

1/2 peroxide and 1/2 very warm water. use a large syringe and flush it out. stand up while doing this,hold a bowl under the ear just above the shoulder. Flush water in and just let it run out. You may have to do this several times and kept changing the water to keep it very warm. We do this at our urgent care office just about every day. Do not use cool or cold water because it will make you pass out. You will be amazed at what comes out of the human ear. Hope you try this method because it is safe and really works.
