Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Possibility of ear infection due to swimming pool water is more likely.
Swimming pool water is said to be highly infectious. And during swimming, water easily go inside ear and cause infection.
So better to consult ENT doctor and get done endoscopic examination of ear.
You will need antibiotic ear drops, painkiller and anti inflammatory drugs.
Better to stop swimming for 3 weeks.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
