Hello,
Your symptoms seem to be related to an ear infection. I suggest using anti inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the inflammation. I also suggest using a cycle of antibiotics such as Augmentin twice a day for a week. I recommend using ear drop for local treatment. If the symptoms continue, I suggest to see an ENT specialist.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
