You might be suffering from acute otitis externa which is a common type of ear infection associated with frequent ear cleaning by ear buds. I don't think there is any association with ear pain and breathing difficulty. You may need to take antibiotics and painkillers along with antibiotic ear drops
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
