Garlic clove in ear: Peel the clove, put in water on stove, bring to boil and sim for 5-10 minutes till slightly soft. Let it cool, and insert in external ear canal, just barely in, so you can easily take it out after 30 min or so.

Warm sweet oil: Warm sweet oil dropped into the ear will help sooth and loosten any wax that may be aggravating what is causing the irritation. And you could take Ibuprofen or Naproxen as an anti-inflammatory pain reliever (with food to avoid stomach upset) or Acetaminophen for the pain.
