I have 2 hard white bumps in my left ear. almost looks like strep throat pus sacks only in my ear. my ear hurts when touched. it s not red unless messed with. feels a little inflamed when comparing to my right ear. I had a double ear infection a couple of weeks ago that may have not completely went away.

Hi...
Welcome to HCM..

I am sorry to hear about your problem and will like to solve it with the best of my knowledge...

As per your query white bumps inside the ears that looks like pus sacks and the ear is slightly inflamed as compared to the other and also you have a history of double ear infection..

It also looks like infection and the cause can be furuncle formation or can also be infected hair follicles or infection in the wax glands.

Consult an ENT expert and get examined..
He can advise you antibiotic ear drops along with analgesic ear drops..
Prevent excess exposure of ear to water as moisture can exaggerate infection..
You can also take anti inflammatory painkiller like Ibuprofen [motrin or advil]..

Hope this helps..

Thanks and regards.
