Hello
Thanks for your query
Sorry to say that your internet search went in a wrong direction. DONOT PUT ANYTHING IN YOUR EAR. SCRATCHING YOUR EAR IS ALSO NOT ADVOCATED.Ear canal have a self cleansing property, so no earbuds.
For now keep your ear dry.....no water.
Start a course of antibiotic and antiinflammatory.
Take tab cetrizine at night.
