Heat: Often kids have some releaf if they put their hurt ear down on a heating pad or compress at a low heat level. The diffuse heat messages going to the brain seem to deminish the ear pain some.If over 6mo i prefer ibuprophen for the discomfort.

Motrin and warmth: Try to see if Motrin (ibuprofen) helps any better. Also apply warmth to ear thru your palm or a warm cloth against the ear. In addition there are ear pain drops available over the counter. If all fails or if your child seems to have any fever/worsening, then see your doctor.
