Hi welcome to health care magic forum,
Ear pain with itching called external ottitis.
Rain may increase the chance otomycosis or fungal infection because of high humidity in environment.
sometimes wax may cause itching and pain too.
Using ear buds for itching may cause microtrauma . Subsequently it causes pain.
In my opinion don't put any ear buds anymore.
Put otogesic drops 2 drops 3 times daily and take a milder antibiotic like azithromycin 500 mg once daily for 3 days.
Take an noninflammatory drugs like Lyser - D 1 tab 3 times daily for 2 days along with antireflux agent if you have hyperacidity.
Avoid head bath.
Wait for 3 to 4 days and if no relief than see an ENT specialist for proper evaluation.

As you are clearly mentioning damp conditions the pain in the ear could be because of any otitis media or externa. i would suggest you some combination of antibiotic along with antifungal and analgesic ,u can use otocin-o ear drops 2 drops thrice daily and close the ear with cotton. u can have an nsaid if not contraindicated to u ( if copd and apd do not use) tab zerodol-p twice daily after food.hope this solves ur issue unless u attend some ent doctor for an examination
