I'd take some ibuprofen and also some kind of nasal decongestant. Hopefully the ibuprofen will take down the tonsil swelling a bit which will relieve pressure on your ear tube, and the decongestant will help with any stuffiness that might be making the pressure worse. You can also massage your ear tube, which can help it drain (from the bottom of your ear down under your jaw).
Keep dosing the ibuprofen to keep the swelling down, but if your ear pain increases I'd go to the urgent care. If it's an infection that's got a strong hold, only antibiotics will help it.

thanks girls for your advice. Ive been too ill to reply, but have started feeling a little better today. I ended up going to a local clinic. I have tonsilitis and they gave me antiobiotics. I hope I feel better soon because this is the worst ive felt in a while.
