Ocean water: The exposure of the ear canal to contaminated water is one cause. If you have recurrent infections of the sinuses, lungs,skin and ears, please discuss an immune work up with your pediatrician.

Several: Possible infection in the throat or ear, vs allergies. See your doc for an exam to diagnose this, and avoid continued discomfort. Consider ear plugs if you are a swimmer.
