Thanks for consulting. I have carefully worked through your case, and I can realize your health worries. Being your physician, I assure you not to worry as I will take care all of your medical concerns.

the pain is probably due to still persisting ear infection mostly external otitis ( infection in the ear canal) as you have pain while pressing tragus. so kindly consult an ENT specialist for examination of you ear and treatment.
mean while analgesic like tablet diclofenact 50 mg SOS can help reduce the pain.

Hope it helps. If you need further, detailed and quick assistance related to any health issues in future, feel free to 'ask me a question' directly from my profile.

Have a wonderful time ahead.
