Hey dude,

Happens to me a bit. Go to chemist and get AquaEar drops,
They're basically Isopropyl alcohol to absorb and evap the water.

If it hurts/stings when you put it in it's infected and it's off to the GP.
It should just feel cold. Try to get it in asap after the water gets in.

Hope this helps, Chris.

A couple of days??

Chris has the right idea - get into the Aqua ear. If there's no infection then you've probably got a build up of wax...got to get that out other wise this will just keep happening.

Either go to your GP and have your ears cleaned, or, try ear candling - looks stupid but works great.

Lastly, if there's no improvement after the Aqua ear - you may have damaged your ear drum from the impact... nothing too serious, but it will give you a similar deaf "full" sort of feeling - see your GP (although there's no much they can do)!
