Don’t pour any oil. Pain and blockage could be because of wax and otomycosis.

The cause for ear pain can be varied.. If it started after you put oil then it could be either due to wax or due to any furuncle or csom.. If it was there before you put oil it could be either wax or fungal infection or otitis externa... All need different treatment. One thing is common that you should avoid putting anything in the ear and avoid water entry in your ear.. Please consult online for further evaluation and treatment

Please meet an ENT Surgeon as soon as possible before you get a fungal infection that could potentially destroy your ears!
