If you went swimming it's possible you may
have swimmers ear which is an ear
infection brought on by bacteria that can
be in the pool water. Sometimes cleaning
your ear before you swim can make it worse
because it takes away the ear wax that can
prevent infections. I would see about
getting to a doctor to get it checked out.
