Furuncle

Detailed Answer:
Hi sir,

I have gone through your query; it suggests that you may be suffering from the furuncle in the ear.
I personally suggest you antibiotic medicine for atleast for five days, hot fomentation.
I also advised to avoid putting ear bud, oil and water putting in the ear.

Wish you good health
