Don't really have any remedies, as I've only had one ear ache in my life. Do be careful in a treestand if you go back out though, I know ear ache's can cause light headedness and dizziness, not good things to have in a treestand. Get to feeling better buddy.

Get a hairdryer and turn it on high heat and low fan setting and put it up close to the ear and turn it on for a few minutes..... Works like a champ..... I've heard about the pee thing but have never brought myself too try it lol....

Just googled and found this on the urine in the ear:

Fresh Urine!: Use 1 tsp of fresh urine and instilled in the ear and cover with a cotton ball. Believe it or not, the ear ache will go within 15 minutes. This may sound weird! But when all else fails, why not give it a try!

Grab $65 and go to a Little clinic at Krogers or a mini clinic at walgreens. They will get you in and out with no fuss, proper meds to get you better asap. Dont put friggin urine in your ear although sweet oil warmed will ease the pain till you get meds.

SP is right. If it hurts purely from being out in the cold wind then urine, sweet oil and I have even tried warmed honey will take away the pain. But if its an infection and antibiotic absolutely needed. Coming from a nurse earaches/infections arent something to take lightly. As Greg said, it will screw up your equilibrium and potentially cause you to fall out of your stand. If it hurts...after the urine/sweet oil/honey....get it checked!

I get earaches too often. Assuming you have fluid in your middle ear that is causing the pressure on your eardrum, you may also want to regularly take an anti-inflamitory like motrin until you get better. This helps shrink swelling in your sinuses around your eustachian tubes and allow them to open and help equalize pressure.
