Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
The pain i at the ear lobe may be due to wax in the external ear,celluliis of the external ear or mastoiditis.
Better consult your doctor as it is difficult to say without seeing the patient.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
