This is a great question. Many people take over the counter pain relievers like Aspirin or Tylenol. But these pills often have side effects like dizziness, stomach ache, and vomiting. Sometimes people take over the counter decongestant or antihistamine. But this may not work well if the person has an allergy to those medications, as they can have dangerous side effects.

Fair enough. I will say, I have heard to not give children aspirin

This is something I wouldn’t personally do. Tylenol is probably OK, but I don’t want to prescribe.

Well, you are not able to prescribe anything anyway. Anyway, so you mentioned pain relievers. Any other ideas on how to treat or alleviate pain of an ear infection?
