Hi.
The swimmer's ears can be healed by a combination of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medicines.
You need to instill anti-fungal drops.
No swimming till you get alright.
Get an examination by an ENT Surgeon as you are also complaining of blockage of the ear.
It is possible that you are also suffering URTI.
