    I know this sounds weird (and also unlikely at 1130 pm) but see if someone will take you for a drive, out on a highway or freeway where you can reach speeds of 50 mph or more. If you can go up in elevation a thousand feet or so, that would be even better. 30 or 40 minutes will do it. I don't know why this works, but when I was in the 9th grade and prone to bad ear-aches, this worked for me. It probably has something to do with relieving the pressure in your Eustachian tubes.

    Something else you can try is resting your head on a heating pad. Not hot enough to burn yourself, and don't go to sleep on it, but it might give you some relief.
