Hello there. If its not subsiding on taking pain killers, then I suggest you consult a ENT Specialist on this issue. It could be due to some infection or something else. The ent surgeon will examine your ear and if required, he will put a camera inside and see what exactly the cause is. Certain tests like audiometry may also be required. Hope this helps. Regards
