Ear is worse on me. Toothache--at least there is Orajel until you can get to a dentist. There is very little out there for ears. You can use hydrogen peroxide if its a moisture issue causing it. There are ear drops out there that do work, but I don't remember who makes them. They worked fairly well, but they are hard to find. I found them in Houston at a CVS--I haven't found them here in OKC yet.
