Brief Answer:
You can use a Netipot or a saline nasal irrigation kit

Detailed Answer:
Hello.

A Netipot or a saline nasal irrigation system can help with this but unless the ear pain resolves within three days you need to have a doctor take a look since you might need a course of oral antibiotics. For now, I don't recommend either antihistamines nor decongestants.

Please let me know if you need any more information about this
