Hello,
As per your history, it may be due to otitis externa.
For that you can take tablet acetaminophen.
Apply icing or hot fomentation.
Watch for symptoms like ear discharge, in that case you may require antibiotics ear drops after ENT consultation.
Take proper rest.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
