Ear pain(left ear)

2018-06-07 14:40:54
I am having ear pain for more than three weeks since I went for a swimming.In the beginning I consulted  ENTdoctor he told me it's because of ear wax and prescribed me otorex ear drops. But the pain is increasing day by day and I couldn't hear properly due to the fullness feeling in the ear. Is this because of only ear wax or some serious problem? Can anyone please give me suggestions?
