Hey. Well, if your dad won't let you get ear drops, or you can't for whatever reason, if you get a washcloth and put really hot water on it for a long time, and then put it in a ziplock bag, you can hold it to your ear (try to lay on it, with the hurt ear faceing towards the bed, couch, or whatever you're laying on).
It helps loosen the wax, so that the water may in turn fall out.
Also, it will hurt, I'm not gunna lie to you, but, you should grab your earlobe during and after the process above, to try to move the wax, helping the water get even closer to falling out.
However, DO NOT stick Q-tips in your ear, that's REALLY dangerous, just as a warning.
I hope you feel betterr! Trust me, I know how bad swimmer's ear hurts]:

Hey. If you go to any drug store (i.e wallgreens, cvs, brooks) you can get over the counter ear drops. Just follow the directions on the label and try not to swim until you're ear ache feels better. You can also call your local pharmacy and they can direct you in what to do. Good luck and hope your ear feels better. ♥ fabulous

If you go to WalMart or target or any store really they have drops for your ears and the bottles will say swimmers ear. all you do is lay on one side and put 5 drops in a lay there for however much time it says to then you switch to the other side , and do it again. Swimmers ear is just water that is stuck in your ear so thje drops dry it up. dont use the green achohal because that could give you an infection.
hope i helped.
