    Ear infections require antibiotics, it will not go away on it's own. That said, decongestants may help the Eustachian tube to unclog and get the infection draining better. You can also try some peroxide in your ear then rinse it with water. Some heat should help any pain and Tylenol but don't use Tylenol if you take a decongestant that has a pain reliever in it. Believe it or not but chewing gum will help work the Eustachian tube and may help to unclog it some. That's what a Pediatrician recommended to a patient whose daughter kept getting ear infections and it worked pretty good but infections still need antibiotics to clear up.
