Have itching and pain in both ears. the outside of them are almost closed. mainly right ear. what could this be or what can i do for it?

Otitis externa: Sounds like you have an external ear infection (otitis externa). You need to have a doctor clean out the ear canal and put a wick in it to keep it from totally closing up and probably need to be on some antibiotic ear drops for a week to 10 days. You should do this as soon as you can.
