I found out I have Swimmer's Ear...?

I found out yesterday I have Swimmers Ear. So I ran to the store and purchase "Swim-EAR" and started to use it right away. My ear feels that it has become more swollen and the pain has increased too. I was told to give it two days to work, should I?

    It does take about 2 days for it to work. Take Ibuprofen that will help with the pain and the swelling.

    use peroxide and warm water, let it sit in your ear with your head to the side for 20 min.... it works i do it all the time!!
