Your son seems to be having infection of the ear known as acute otitis media which is very common among children.
Next Steps
This condition usually resolves on its own within 3 to five days. Meanwhile make sure water does not get inside while giving bath. Also don't try to use ear buds to clean the ear.
Health Tips
This condition is usually benign and does not lead to any permanent disability
