See a Dr.: This may be serious.Please see a dr.Uncomplicated swimmers ear may be treated with isopropyl alcohol or hydrogen peroxide but i suspect your problem includes a cerumen (ear wax) blockage.

See doctor: If ear is plugged after swimming it could just be ear wax or could be swimmers ear. See a doc to find out and to get the correct treatment.
