you prob have an infection if it's that bad - so will need anti-biotics. You could also get some 'almond oil' from a pharmacist, gently heat the bottle in warm water and go with a few drops of that - it's v soothing )

If you're really unlucky a spider might've crawled in there and laid it's eggs. And they're now hatching and eating you alive.

Or maybe not.

The scary thing is it turns out it's partly true.

have you got a hair drier?
drop lots of water into your ear and then warm it up a tiny bit wit the hair drier

don't start sticking shit into your ear like knitting needles and stuff as this might make matters worse, your ears will produce more wax the more you dig it out too

Warm up a tea towel on a radiator or something or even microwave it, but not for too long, then put the tea towel over the offending ear and lie down ...

i didn't know that

but he's got an ear ache so perhaps hes just got some water traped inside, or he's got a spot inside or something the other side of the eardrum

i've had a spot in my ear and it hurt like fuckrey and took about 2 months to clean up after it had gone away and puss'd out

i'd wait till he saw the docrot as the resident pf docrots are telling him 50 different things that might not cure his pain

warm oil, dip some cotton wool into it, stick it in your ear, put some tape around to hold it in place

sleep on a hot water bottle, that always helped me but careful you dont burn yourself lol and warm oil in the ear too thats soothes it. stay out of draughts and maybe put some cotton wool in it to keep it warm

It can REALLY damage your hearing. Don't you have emergency appointments in there? Over here you just check which hospital runs emergency visits today and go there.
