My ear hurts after in the pool?

Question

I went to a resort and went swimming in the pool and ocean, i got home today and woke up and found my ear hurting, Could it be the water in my ear? I do have pain when i touch the back of my ear.

Answer 1

Sounds like swimmer's ear.  You need to see a doctor to get antibiotics.

Not serious and easily treated.

Answer 2

Go to the store and get some DEBROX or MURINE Ear drops. and a baby ear syringe. and cotton balls.

It's possible that you have built up wax. Add the drops and wait a while then GENTLY try and syringe your ear out with WARM water.

IF after doing this you still have pain. (water or wax is probably causing pressure)  I just went thru this!  You may need extra help getting rid of the wax. Dont be embarrassed about going to a doctor to complete this.

WARNING:

DO NOT DO THIS  IF YOU HAVE EVER HAD EAR SURGERY OR HAVE A HOLE IN YOUR EAR.  

Answer 3

It could be a ear infection.  It can be treated with ear drops.

Answer 4

you could have gotten water on and under you ear drum
