The nerves wiring the sensitivity/pain for the ear drum, jaw joint & teeth are often overlapping in their distribution & can give rise to poor localizing for a problems origin. A simple Ibuprofen product or moist heat applied as tolerated may give good results. If there is no ear canal issue I see no benefit of drops other than to give you something to do.
