Please see your: doctor. You may have a middle ear infection or a Swimmer's Ear (ear canal infection). The only way to know is to be examined. Meanwhile, you can take acetaminophen or ibuprofen for the pain until you can be seen.

Been having the feeling that I need to "clean" my ears every morning after I wake up and sometimes during the day. This feeling is relieved if I use q-tips, but there is no wax. What could be causing ?
