Hi,
Is there any bleeding or discharge? Any problem with hearing? Pain after ear cleaning can be possibly from injury to ear drum or auditory canal.
If there is no bleeding/discharge/tinnitus, and hearing is fine, just try taking paracetamol or ibuprofen 3 times a day after food for 3 days. If no relief or above said features comes, kindly get it examined with an ENT specialist.
Hope I have answered your queries. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
