Ear: You need to have it checked out with an ENT. Dont out anything in the ear and keep it dry until you can have it checked. Sounds like you may need an ear wick, drops and perhaps oral antibiotics. I'd go to an ER today

Clean: you can clean the outside part of your canal but do not go inside If a simple pimple then it should resolve in a few days The canal could be blocked from inflammation or wax Go see a provider to examine your ear

Swelling: You are probably experiencing swelling of the canal from the trauma of bursting the pimple. This type of swelling should go away on it's own. Using a Q-tip might make the swelling worse. Prolonged pain and swelling could indicate an infection.
