pain after going in the ocean?

After about 10 minutes in the ocean, i get a bad pain in the bottom of my head right above my neck. if that doesn't hurt, my ears do.the pain usually subsides after a half hour or so. why does this happen? does it have to do with the temperature of the ocean vs the rapid change in temperature of my head? i cant figure it out? please help! thanks!

    You might have swimmer's ear. It usually occurs if you have a small deformity in the ear canal, or if you've had tubes put into your ears. It's pretty common. Anyway, it sounds like you have an infection, so see a doctor.

    I would say it might have nothing to do with the ocean, and there could be something wrong. Talk to a doctor or nurse.
