Depends on what is causing the ear ache. An infection is not going to subside in 20 minutes.
1 To alleviate pain, place a few drops of warm olive oil in the ear[citation needed]. The bottle can be placed in a small glass of warm water for a few minutes to get it warm.
2 Plug the ear loosely with a cotton ball.
3 Make a paste using onion powder and apply it to the outside of the ear to relieve pain[citation needed].
4 Apply a warm compress over the painful ear. Heat can bring quick pain relief.
5 Use garlic oil and mullein flower oil can as an alternative to olive oil, either in combination or on their own[citation needed]. They will help to fight disease-causing microbes and reduce inflammation[citation needed]. Place a few drops of oil in the ear twice a day.
6 If the outer ear appears irritated, lavender oil rubbed in gently can be very soothing[citation needed]. Apply as needed throughout the day.
7 Prepare a steam inhalation by adding several drops of Eucalyptus essential oil or a teaspoon of Vicks to nearly boiling water in a bowl. Place a towel over your head and inhale the steam through the nose 3 times a day until pain subsides. This will help to open the Eustachian tubes, easing pressure and help to drain the fluids from the ear[citation needed].
8 Add supplements such as Vitamin A, C, and echinacea. These can help boost the immune system[citation needed].
9 Move your jaw up and down rapidly every other day until you stop having ear aches.
10 Use a massager.
