You seem to have developed traumatic perforation of the ear drum. It usually heals spontaneously within three weeks. No specific treatment is required. You should be very careful not to allow water to enter inside the ear.
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
