You seem to have injured ear of the baby while cleaning. It may be just injury of ear canal or it may be injury to ear drum. In any case treatment is symptomatic. Drops are usually avoided and you need to prevent entry of water into the ear for few weeks
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
