Hello and welcome to Ask A Doctor services.
I have read your query and here is my advise.
* Inside pain with external swelling can be due to otitis media with
secondary enlargement of cervical lymph nodes.
Primary guidelines for his better outcome
- allow him more liquids and maintain hydration
- ear drops as ciprofloxacin or others as per his ENT specialist advise
- prescription of azithromycin or else antibiotic to cure the infection
