Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain white stuff in ear can be either hardened earwax or can be due to any foreign body impaction inside the ear..
It can be a reason for plugged feeling as well as pain can be due to infection..
I would suggest you not to try to remove it as it may get pushed further deeper towards eardrum while it can also lead to ear drum perforation..
I would suggest you to consult an Otolaryngologist and get her evaluated and he can remove it will fine tweezers or if it is wax he will remove it with specialized instruments..
She can also be advised antibiotics if there is infection, anti inflammatory painkiller like Ibuprofen as well as antibiotic and analgesic ear drops..
Avoid swimming and excess water exposure to ear..
Also avoid exposure to loud sounds and do not pop the ear to unplug it to prevent eardrum injury..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
