Answers:
Try taking a wash rag and soak it in hot water (as hot as you can stand) then ring it out and roll it to fit on the swollen area.. I would also suggest taking some advil and tylenol.. They are completely different medications and work differently so you can alternate them.. For example you would take Advil every 6-8 hours and you take Tylenol every 4-6 hours.. That means take 2-3 Advil now, then in three hours take 2-3 Tylenol, then in about three hours take the Advil again and then in three hours take the Tylenol.. That way it always stays in your system to manage your pain - it will greatly help!!! My daughter recommends doing this when she has fever so I know that it is safe..
If your ear doesn't feel better between the drops, warm rag and Advil/Tylenol in 24 hours I would suggest going back to your doctor just to make sure that there isn't anything else wrong.. Or you can even go to a different doctor if you would rather have a second opinion..
I hope this helps, I know how badly and ear can hurt! Hope you feel better soon!!!

im not a doctor but it sounds like it may pass in time so try taking some painkillers and get some sleep.. idk if this is right but try drying it out alot.. like it, probolly herts cuz yer ear is wet(partially).. so dry it out with a fan or something......maybe clean it out with a cutip and go to sleep......maybe the pain will pass......
another idea is to go in a plane at high altitude.. yer ear probably started hurtin cuz u went deep under water and the water pushed in..
so if u go up instead of down maybe the water will go out......
hope i helped
and i hope yer ear feels better soon

Find some pain killers and wait it out, there isn't really much you can do in my experience :(
Hope you get better soon, I definitely know the feeling, although my ear would bleed a lot (gross I know)..
