Hello
I appreciate your concern
This might be related to inflammation of middle ear or collection of fluids in the middle ear cavity.
Since you haven't gone for swimming still it can get inflamed.

In my opinion you should take antihistaminic drugs like levocetirizine or fexofenadine for 5 to 7 days and keep your ear clean and dry.

If it doesn't improve than you should consult a ENT surgeon for check up and a course of antibiotics if need be.

Thanks for using our services, please feel free to aski for more clarification I will be happy to help you
Best wishes
