Q: 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. Is it serious?
A: 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.
