Wow, poor you. (I really am being sympathetic, in case that sounds sarcastic). I haven't had ear infections for a while now, but I used to find it helped to wrap an icepack in a tea towel and hold it against the side of my face up near my ear. I'm not sure if it helped the swelling or made it number and easier to bear, but it did seem to alleviate the pain a bit. Plus I did the alternating pain-killers too.
