Otitis externa : This can be a real painful condition and needs antibiotics (possibly antifungals) +/- a wick. See your doctor or ENT asap. The longer you wait the higher the chance for more serious complications.

Go see your Doc: Self treating that bad pain can be a disaster. Please get to see a doctor really soon.
