Hi,
with above presentation from your question, it seems like you have got infection of the external ear. with the above complaints if i am treating the patient i would have given a course of antibiotic for 5 days, with some painkillers. then follow up after five days to see whether swelling has come down
so please consult neraby physicain and get it managed
Hope I have answered your question. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help
