Pain starting after water entered the ear while bathing, lasting two days, is commonly due to irritation or infection of the external ear canal (otitis externa), sometimes when water gets trapped behind ear wax. This is usually very treatable once a doctor confirms the cause by looking inside the ear.
Next Steps
I would recommend an in-person ENT or doctor visit for an ear examination so the canal and eardrum can be checked and the right ear drops or medication prescribed. Keep the ear dry in the meantime.
Health Tips
Please do not put cotton buds, oil or water into the ear, and avoid self-medicating with random drops, especially if there is any chance the eardrum is perforated. A simple over-the-counter pain reliever can ease the pain until you are seen, but an in-person examination is important.

Take a painkiller for pain relief for now, but see a doctor. It could be due to water logged behind some wax in your ear which could have precipitated external otitis.
