Ear Blocked, Hurts a Lot

Question

Asked for Male, 24 Years

I sorta stupidly poked my ear with a ear bud and it has been hurting ever since. I had some painkillers but they're not helping much. Moreover, the ear is blocked since last night and it's bad. I tried putting oil in the ear too, because I read it on the internet. But that hasn't gotten me anywhere either. What's the best course of action that I should take now? Any home remedies that would bring me relief? Please help.
