Suggest Remedy For Pain And Swelling In Ear With History Of Having Ear Infection

Hi, I have got an ear infection last week during swimming at Beach in Chicago, earlier to that i was finding some red wax coming out of my ear around 6 months back. it stopped after sometime. I used to smoke earlier but from last two months i have stopped smoking completely. Now from last 3 days i am facing a lot of pain in my left ear which suddenly rise and calms down, I tried putting hot salt wrapped in a cloth which eventually has made it swollen. I came to US two months ago, i started working a week back, my cash got stolen at SIx flags so because i don t have much credits i was using the simple methods to get rid of it. I havent been to any ENT specialists because charge high. I have seen that its a serious issue & i should see a doctor immediately. Can i get any kind of fast advice to stop all this or any good descent doctors who donot charge much. Your quick response can save my ear , hearing loss. :( Thanks & regards, Varun 0000
