Hello,
You are suffering from ear pain and soreness, presently you are in much pain as you can't swallow, chew, sleep or touch it. You had also scratched it. You are suggested to switch over to liquid diet or semi solid diet for a couple of days to prevent further hurting. Take pain killers, like Combiflam or Acetaminophen after food. Do not touch your ears. Your symptoms are indicative of ear wax, otitis media or infection as you have scratched it. You are suggested to visit ER, get clinically examined. If it is otitis media you will need to take a course of antibiotic.
If it is wax embedded in your ear canal you will need to apply Otorex ear drop (4-5 drops) in the affected ear thrice daily. The wax will start to dissolve, remove it with a soft cotton handkerchief gently, do not over do, do not use tooth picks or ear buds. In 4-5 days, you will feel better but get re-examined by the ENT, you may need an ear wash, a clinical procedure to be done in the OPD. Do not try to do it at home.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
