I have a pain in my ear it itches and feels swollen what do i do ..besides go to the doctor?

Outer ear infection: Sounds like you have an outer ear infection and needs to go to the doctor. You can try warm compress to the area and an over the counter analgesic ear drops. But that will not get rid of the infection. It will calm the pain and may help flush wax out. Those infections tend to be progressive- the swelling and pain can get worse overtime if not treated in a timely manner.
