Hi,
From history it seems that due to infection there might be deposition of blood and exudate in ear canal giving this problem.
Do not remove this deposit by your self.
Let your doctor clean the ear.
After cleaning put antibiotic ear drops.
Chance of having impacted ear wax should be ruled out.
Ok and take care.
