I recently went to the doctor 2 days ago with swimmers ear and the pain has not subdued, just gotten worse.. help!, what to do?

Go back: You may need a stronger ear drop and/or an oral antibiotic as well. Sometimes an anti fungal medication is also needed. While you're there ask for pain meds too. Swimmers ear is terribly painful!
