hello
i have gone through query.as you cant see a doctor for week.some home remedies are as follows
Apply a warm compress over the painful ear.Heat can bring quick pain relief.
OTC pain medications such an ibuprofen or acetaminophen can be taken
place a few drops of warm olive oil in the ear
Plug the ear loosely with a cotton ball.
One way to relieve the pressure in the ear is to clear mucus or fluid out of the nose.
Move your jaw up and down rapidly every other day until you stop having ear aches.
if its due to wax build up then ear wax softner like Debrox can be used.
a course of antibiotic ll help fight the infection.

Hope this ans helps

Regards
