OK... I've finally given in, after about a month of having a blocked ear I'm going to the doctors ASAP because the pain is killing me. Does anybody have any idea what I can do to take the pain away until I can get there? I took about 8 paracetamol yesterday and now I feel really ill and don't want to take any more, I'm going down the town today for some ear drops though they never work, my usual trick of lying on that ear to keep it warm isn't working because it just keeps hurting. It's not just my ear either; it's making my jaw stiff and my cheek and neck is slightly swollen I think. Help

I get that, too and I find that ibuprofen (esp neurofen plus) is better than paracetamol but it doesn't make things totally better.
Huge hugs, it's nasty.
