Huh? I can't hear you.

Lord have mercy, I have the worst ear infection ever. I was fine yesterday and then woke myself up in the night when I flipped over onto my left side and there was STABBING pain in my ear. My whole left cheek is red and hot and my jaw hurts and I can't even hold the phone up to that ear. Partly, I want sympathy...WAH! But mostly I wonder if anyone has any suggestions for making the AGONIZING PAIN go away?
