Hi
Welcome to HCM
Read your prob,ear, nose n throat are interconnected , so if you have cold for 6 days this is quite possible of developing pain inside ear due to increased air pressure in middle ear. it seems like lump n you feel shooting pain inside ear. this is all because of chronic cold. so consult with ENT specialist, control your cold by antihistaminic medicine after advising, pain must be subside gradually, you can take any kind of anlgesic for it.
