HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern the history given here is suggestive of infective boil in internal ear if I would be your doctor then I would treat this case with following line of treatment,
1) Tab Ibuprofen 400 mg three times in day
2) Tab Doxycycline 100 mg twice in day for five days
cleaning the ear canal with antiseptic solution draining the pus, this would heal the lesion quickly, take care and have nice day.
I find this answer helpful
