Brief Answer:
inconclusive details
Detailed Answer:
Hi, hope you are doing well.
The history you have given is insufficient to conclude a diagnosis.
But it seems you are having an upper respiratory tract infection after you joined swimming. You need to consult an ENT surgeon as it's very important to examine your ear. You have taken an antibiotic, antiallergic that relieve your symptoms.
You can start taking betadine gargle, steam inhalation through the nose. Don't let water going in the ear. You continue taking an antiallergic tablet (eg. Cetirizine).
Let me know if I can assist you further.
Get well soon.
