what can cause pain inside my ear

For about 3 weeks now i have been having pain inside my ear, i visited a pharmacist and she said its too much of using earphone. She prescribed medicine which i did take according to her orders, up until now my ear is getting worse. My earphone is only one ear and also someone mistakenly hit me with a wooden stick, few days later this pain developed. Please any direction on what to do because i can't even eat well or open my mouth wide

If you have a cut or something in your ear and the bud rests on it, it can be keeping it from healing.  Does your ear bud have any rough edges or are you pushing it in too far?

That sounds painful!  This is surface in nature and not like internally inside your ear?  You may have a bruise/cut type of thing going on.  But it is getting worse?  Does ibuprofen help at all as it reduces swelling and gives pain relief?
