Do neck exercises
It may seem too simple to be true, but exercising your neck can help your ear infection. Swelling around the ear canal is a common problem when you have an earache, which can lead to painful inflammation. Stretching your neck muscles aids blood flow and decreases the pressure in and around your ears. You can lean your head toward one shoulder, then the other, do some head circles, and open and close your jaw. Repeat these gentle movements as often as you’d like throughout the day.
