General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

It may be due to otitis externa.

For pain you can take tablet acetaminophen.

Hot compressions may also help.

In case of not getting relief, I would suggest you to consult with ENT surgeon.

Avoid ear piercing.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
