How could i relieve the swimmer's ear pain?

Ear drops: There are many topical antibiotic drops and other drops that will relieve external otitis which is what swimmer's ear is. I would advise that you see an ENT doctor for diagnosis and treatment. More rarely fungal infections can also cause external ear infection. If the latter is present you would need specific anti fungal drops.
