Warm up some oil,dip a piece of cotton in the oil and put a clove in the middle of the cotton and put that in your ear.Something about the heat from the warm oil and the clove release alot of pressure and pain.
-Take a blow dryer,put it on low and go around your ear for about 10 minutes.Not directly inside of it,but around your ear.The heat from the blow dryer does wonders.
-Take a heating pad and wrap it in a pillow case and lay your head on it...
