Limited, sorry: Can try vaporizer (steam works better, but beware of burn risk, is hot steam) to open eustachian tubes, which may help reduce ear pain if from occlusion. If hurts outside (jaw/muscle), then limit movement ; try more soft/liquid foods for couple of days. Tylenol (acetaminophen) ok for pain (not more than 3gm/day).
