Warm towel applied to your ear/side of your head.
I have put a drop of warm lavender oil into my ear before now, too.
Hope the antibiotics work soon.
You can take Ibuprofen as well as paracetamol for the pain.

How horrible for you. Warm hot water bottle wrapped in towel and under pillowcase ? Nurofen better than paracetamol for any inflammation and think you could use both at intervals but do ask pharmacist.
