I've had bad ears all my life. What really helps me is a very warm dry cloth. Iron a handerchief and use that It really helps.

You probably need a strong prescription decongestant. I have this problem in the mountains, and I wake up with throbbing pain all the time. Try sleeping on your back. It's not always the most comfortable, but it keeps the fluid in your ears equal for the most part. And then if you do end up sleeping on your side, try sleeping on the side that doesn't hurt as much because then the fluid will go away from the other ear. You have to be aware that that ear may be hurting in the morning too, but just sit up for a little bit and it will equalize itself out. But ask your doctor for a prescription because it sounds like there's a build up of fluid in there from something. Hope you feel better!
