Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have red, grey, brown lump inside ear. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like foreign object , insect or otitis externa . I would suggest you to probe the ear with a tool and tilt the head to the affected side to try to dislodge the object. Consult pediatrician for proper examination . Doctor may examine ear with otoscope . Doctor may prescribe corticosteroid drops along with antibiotics like gentamycin along with anti inflammatory .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
