Otitis: This may be swimmers ear or external otitis which is an infection/inflammation of the ear canal treated with prescription ear drops like cortisporin otic. However there could be an infection of the eardrum itself requiring oral antibiotic treatment. I recommend that you be examined by a physician for proper diagnosis and treatment.
