have someone blow smoke in your ear----this is Not a joke
put a few drops of pee in it-----this really works, my fiance's mother did this when he had ear aches. I AM NOT KIDDING
A hot compress will really relieve the pain. If you heat a damp washcloth or paper towel (folded up) for about 10-15 seconds in the microwave, then put a dry cloth around it and very carefully hold it against the affected ear, it can relieve the pain and even that clogged feeling for a few minutes. The heat can also help dry the ear canal, so if its swimmers ear it can help it get better. Drink warm liquids too, even if its just warm water.

Ear drops. Prescription ear drops such as antipyrine-benzocaine (Aurodex) may provide additional pain relief
A warm compress may lessen pain
