Brief Answer:
External ear infection most likely.

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Thank you for asking HCM.

I have gone through your query. Your problem can be most likely external ear infection. Antibiotic drops for local application will be helpful for this. I usually advise ciprofloxacin ear drops for this. Application of this for 5 days is effective usually. You can also take over the counter analgesics like ibuprofen for pain.

Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
