Hello
Welcome in H.C.M.
I have gone through your query regarding swelling in ear along with fluid in ear canal. Your this clinical history favours that you are suffering from otitis externa may be furunculosis.
As for as treatment is concerned it is always necessary first to make the diagnosis and that is possible only a clinical examination. Till you are in waiting for specialist you may take-
1- 10% Icthymol glycerine locally.
2- Tab Diclofenac + Serratiopeptidase.
Probably above will help you .
Regards.
