Acute flare-up of otitis externa

I started steroid and antibiotic drops a couple of days ago, and oral antibiotics today as the left side of my face has swollen.

The problem is the pain...it's unbearable!! I was reluctantly given some 15/500mg co-codamol tabs, but they are barely touching the sides. A double dose of ibuprofen has some effect, but I'm limited to how iften I can take this dose.

Any ideas for making this more bearable until the meds kick in? I feel like chopping off my head??
