How do you treat external ear infection which is probably caused by swimming? It hurts a lot! HELP! 21/m?

Question:

Five days ago I felt a mild pain in my left ear, and I thought it would be gone pretty soon. The day after I first felt pain in my ear, the pain drastically increased and it began to hurt me so much. I couldn't even touch my ear. In the nights I couldn't sleep because of the unbearable pain. Right now I'm still feeling pains and it seems nothing has improved since it all began - having in mind that I went to a doctor and have been using antibiotics for three days. Any ideas or thoughts? PLEASE HELP! Thank you!

Answers:
Im with Maddy on this one . Sweet oil. Warm it up (in the bottle) under hot running water put some on a cotton ball and put the cotton in your ear lay down, and take it easy , and if the antibiotics dont start working in the next day or so..go back to the Dr you can suffer permanent damage.
