I have ear pain not going anywhere, what to do for treatment?

Ibuprofen: If viral, you only need comfort measures.Ibuprofen and occasionally holding gentle heat to the ear (heating pad on low or compress) will often do the trick.If it persists, you need to have it evaluated to see if specific treatments are needed.
