hi! recurrent cold can cause ear infection. swimming also causes ear infection. so both need to be avoided.consult a ent specialist to rule out any serious issues like tympanic membrane perforation. take an antibiotic course. please don't take eat infection casually as it can lead to serious brain complications.
