Sounds fungal: Sounds like you got water in it and now fungus is growing. Try making a solution of 50% warm water and 50% hydrogen peroxide, and use a syringe to carefully fill your ear canal. You will hear bubbling. Keep your head tilted for a minute or to for it to work, then let it drain out. Repeat every day and see if it helps. Drops for swimmer's ear (e.g., auro-dri) can help, else see an ENT (md).
