Phoenix has an earache. Went to the Dr and then to pharmacy to get prescriptions. Pharmacist told me to try this trick he learned from a flight attendant who uses this trick for ear pressure problems in flight.
Fill a coffee cup with water and heat it up in the microwave, pour water out and quickly dry the cup then put it over the ear and leave it until it cools.
And it worked!
Joe D. White says the reason it works is:
As it cools slowly the air inside contracts forming a vacuum. Takes pressure off the ear drum after the warmth helped relax it.
