Hi.
Thanks for your query.
This is the problem with the self-medication.
You should never self-treat as this is without any basis.
Consult an ENT Surgeon to get a proper diagnosis as this can be due to infection of the ear, otomycosis or impacted wax or just otitis externa.
Till then just take painkillers.
