It looks like you have damaged your ear canal with the use of your bud. If there is no infection it should subside with the common analgesics like combiflame. However if there is infection in the ear canal it will require a proper course of antibiotics. Please note that not to use ear bud in the ear Canal for cleaning as it main aggravate the swelling in the ear canal and cause more pain. If your pain do not subside with the use of analgesics for next 2 to 3 days you can contact for online consultation.
Thank you.
