Hello
It seems like you are having hordeolum of the ear.
Since it associated with inflammatory symptoms like pain, it requires treatment by oral antiinflammatory drugs and antibiotic ear drops.
since this includes prescription I advice you to consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly.
Thank you
