Brief Answer:
Yes, Consult ENT Specialist ASAP

Detailed Answer:
Hi Sir,

I have gone through your query; it suggests that you may be suffering from the otitis externa.

If I were your treating doctor then I would advice
1. Avoid putting water, oil and ear bud in the ear.
2. Hot fomentation of the ear as much as possible.
3. For Antibiotics and pain killers consult with your treating doctor.

Better to consult ENT specialist to rule out other disease and better management. The antibiotic therapy will be initiated as per your ENT doctors choice.

Thanks

Wish you good health
