Hi,
Just give rest to the ear for a week. Don't put headphones or loud music. Give absolute rest. It's just a trauma causing inflammation near the walls of inner ear during pushing of bud forcefully. It will be fine in a weeks time. If so much pain is there you can take an anti inflammatory drug. Please don't touch again and irritate the area, leave it as it is.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
