Usually a minimal ear wax does not cause any pain... Sometimes excessive use of ear buds or water entry can cause either edema and pain inside ear (otitis externa) Another common cause is acute otitis media (infection) Do you have runny nose or cold? Did you use ear buds? Any accidental water entry into your ear?
