Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
It sounds like you may have an infection in the ear canal. It should be okay to wait one day, but I would not wait any longer than that. If the pain is severe, then you should be seen today.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Kathy Robinson
