HI,
Welcome to healthcare magic.
I had gone through your question. I can understand your concern
This could be due to acute infection of middle ear. Using buds could injure the already inflamed tissues. There could be fungal elements also along with bacterial infection. This needs otoscopic examination of the ear for confirmation.
I recommend the following.
1) You might need a change of antibiotics.
2) Analgesics for pain relief.
3) Anihistaminics like levocetrizine for itching relief.
4) Removal of fungal debris from ear canal.

Hope I have answered your question. If you have any questions, I am happy to help you.

Regards,

Dr.Paparaja S. MBBS MS
