thats an ear infection. i'm sorry to tell you this but you need antibiotics and to get them you have to go to the doctor. If you don't treat the infection may go down to the inner ear making the pain unbearable.

Never EVER put anything smaller than your elbow in your ear- you will only embed any wax further into the canal.
Get a dixie cup of hot tap water, and pour in a little peroxide, drop the liquid into the ear with a dropper or squeeze a cotton ball of liquid allowing a few drops to go into the ear canal, crackling and fizzing will go on, once it calms then shake your ear over the sink to release the liquid, and repeat this until it feels clear. If this doesn't help the first few tries, take a break and go back and try it again in about 1/2 hour.
Mine was severely clogged and this is the only thing that helped- I tried ear wax kits, etc.. nothing helped- this actually dissolved the wax deep within the canal and released the glogging and pain.

Do not, ...repeat, do not put a "Q" tip in your ear. It's like using a ram rod in a old time shot gun, your ramming stuff into the bottom of your ear. Maybe this is what happen.
Have someone take a flash light and gently pull your ear out and shine the light into it, look in and see what they can see. If it's very red and swollen then you have an infection, you have to see a doctor, make arraignments to pay, there's no other way. It's going to get worse.
If you have something in your ear, your going to have to have it taken out. I've seen spiders actually make a nest in one ladies ear, she had eggs in there and a web. The doc had to clean it all out. Another one was a June Beetle, got stuck in a mans ear. A young boy stuck a crayon into his ear so far they couldn't get it out. Doc had to twist a wire and make a screw out of it and screw it into the crayon to pull it out.

Sounds like an ear infection you could try taking benadryl to maybe drain out that yucky stuff and tylenol for pain and some ear drops and if that doesn't work it might mean you have a serious ear infection and will have to get medical attention once it gets to the point where your ear canal is shut and pain unbearable.
Hope you get better cuase I used to get ear infections alot.

Honestly you really need to go to the doctor. You may have something in you're ear. This problem can only get worse, soon it will start affecting your vision and your coordination. Call around to local clinics and ask for prices. You really need a doctor's advice.
