Try : Chewing some gums, yawn, blow your nose against pinched nostril . Take some decongestant histamines, cover your ears to keep them warm ( cold air makes it worst ).If severe, you may need scripts from your doctor for otic drops with analgesic, anesthetic and antibiotics combo .Also you can take oral pain medicines as needed
