Otitis externa: Recommend a consultation. Sounds like otitis externa needs to be excluded. If unwell and rapidly spreading then seek urgent medical attention

Ear swollen : The symptoms you describe sound like an infection from an insect bite. Would recommend being examined and be sure there is no abscess formation and whether you need antibiotics Hope you feel better soon
