Brief Answer:
Take simple acetaminophen/paracetmol

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX

You can take Tab FLEXON 500 for immediate relief of pain in the right ear. This is safe during lactation. You can take next dose as well without worry. Most likely there is pressure build up in the eustachin tube in the lactating tubes. That is why in olden days the lactating mothers are advised to cover their ears with mufler to prevent the imbalance in the pressure to the external environment. You can clog cotton to the external ear hole as well. This prevents that imbalance.

It takes a weeks time but automatically clears. Drink ample amount of water and avoid caffeinated beverages. Plug the ears with cotton.
YOu can pinch the nose and try to blow the air slowly and deeply.
Do not be harsh you may damage the ear drum.
