Excessive usage of cotton swabs has lead to discharge of white creamy smelly fluid out of my ear.how can i get rid of this discharge?

Ear discharge: You have probably caused a canal ear infection by removing the protective wax layer of the ear canal. You will need an antibiotic-cortisone combination ear drops for your ear. Call your doctor.
