Hello
Thank you for posting your query.
Your complaint sounds like you have developed folliculitus of the ear canal. You need to consult an ENT specialist to get the ears cleaned. Also antibiotic soaked ear packing will help in reduction of swelling. Use anti inflammatory medicine like ibuprofen 400 for pain relief. Pain will usually reduce within a day.
All the best
