Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of severe itching and pain in ears. Well there can be many reasons for itching like slightest accumulation of debris, even a dead hair, may be felt as an itching sensation ear canal dermatitis , otitis media and wax buildup. Need not to worry. You should avoid touching or pricking ear with any sharp object. I would suggest you to consult ENT specialist for proper examination. Doctor may order CT scan and examine with otoscope . Doctor may prescribe antibiotics gentamycin for a week along with corticosteroid ear drops and may remove wax . For now you can put 2 drops of olive oil once a day to prevent dryness and cover your ear while bathing .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
