You should never use ear buds in the ear, it will lead to lot of problems like ear wax clogging, otitis externa or tympanic membrane injury, nor put oil in the ear. Take a thorough consultation to properly diagnose and treat ua condition

The itching can be a consequence of the cold that you recently had. If you can get your ears examined by an ENT it would rule out presence of any other cause of itching as well. Do not use ear buds.
