I had bad earache too. The GP gave me cocodamol for it. I found that really helpful. Mine went after the first two radiotherapy sessions. I was amazed how quickly it went. Hope all goes well for you.
I also had excruciating ear pain before my treatment, day and night. I was prescribed co-codamol (stronger strength), it was not enough to keep me going through the night unfortunately. I had to sleep upright as well as taking more pain killers throughout the night. I felt so much better when the treatment started, within 1 week the pain started to go away. As Dani said, the pain will ease off when the cancer starts shrinking as the tumour will no longer put pressure on your ear.
