Hello,
As per your query, you have symptoms of ear infection which could be due to ear wax build up, Eustachian and could be accumulation of flora in ear canal.
I would suggest you to maintain hygiene of ear canal. Avoid itching and pricking with any sharp object. Also, apply warm compression externally and do mouth blowing exercises keeping nose closed.
Visit ENT specialist once if symptoms keeps on persisting and get it examined with Otoscope. Take proper course of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medications.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
