Please keep your ears covered whenever possible. Start having warm saline gargles three times a day. Never put water in your ears.

You could either be having wax inside the ear or it could be a mild infection. During winter, our skin becomes dry and scaly which can cause itchiness. Do not use ear buds. Apply a moisturizer/ petroleum jelly at the opening of the ear canal. Please consider visiting a specialist to have a look at your ear.
