Need Advice On Ear Cleaning.

Last night I had a black head in my right ear and my boyfriend used the end of a bobby pin to get the yellow pus out like my mom used to do when I was a child. This morning my ear was extremely sensitive and the right side of my hurts. I can barely bite down all the way without shooting pain. I also cleaned out some excess ear wax this morning with my Debrox. Could the bobby pin have infected the blackhead? Could the Debrox ear wax agent have infected it? Should I clean my ear out with peroxide? Thank you so much

Hello. If there's pus involved, this is an ear canal infection. The peroxide may help but you really need to have a doctor take a look since you need a course of oral antibiotics
