Grumble. I've had this for nearly 3 weeks now. Not much pain in the ear itself, but stabbing pains in the bony area (mastoid?) behind it, and a pain that seemed to spread down to my lower rear gum.
The local walk in centre gave me an earspray which did nothing, I'm now midway through a course of antibiotics, which don't seem to be having much of an effect. I've got a 2 week camping tour coming up in a weeks time :-(
