Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
The dark brown wax, followed by pinkish cotton swab along with pus discharge suggests inflammation, infection of the external ear with possibly injury to the eardrum. You should visit ENT surgeon and have it examined and advised for these issues.
Thanks.
