What Could Sudden Swelling And Soreness In Inner Part Of Tragus With Stinging Sensation Suggest?

Last night I woke up during a dead sleep and realized the inner part of my tragus was swollen and quite sore. today I can feel pressure in my ear and almost a leaking feeling but there is nothing there, the swelling has also gotten a little worse. When I touch the inner tragus there is painful stinging sensation that shocks my entire left side, almost like a bee stinger is stuck in there but worse. I live in Ontario so its not like there are crazy bugs here. can you help me please, its quite irritating and im a little worried.
