What's the question?: Did the doctor find an infection in the external ear canal? If so, I trust it has been treated with either an antifungal or antibacterial. In the future, try a drop of rubbing alcohol into the ear canal to get the water out.

Swimmers ear: It sounds like you may have a bacterial infection of your ear canal. Common treatment involves administering antibiotic/corticosteroid ear medications. Depending on the extent of infection you may need oral antibiotics or deeper cleaning by an experienced physician.
