I literally just recovered from a middle ear infection last week. Trust me, do not put any home drops or oil inside your ear; just use a warm compress on the outside and get antibiotic drops prescribed by an ENT.
Ear pain makes you feel like a siren is going off inside your head! Keep your phone volume low and avoid listening to gossip for a few days while those drops do their magic.
Please take rest and stay positive, your body has the strength to heal. Just keep the ear warm and dry, and let the doctor guide you with the right medicine.
I was reading that ear infections often start after a common cold due to fluid buildup. Sleeping with your head slightly elevated on an extra pillow might help drain the fluid and ease the pressure.

Please avoid getting any water inside your ear while bathing. Keeping it dry is very important to prevent the infection from growing worse.
