My dear you have an infection. You're going to have to see a medical doctor as soon as possible to get medication to stop the infection and the pain.
next time you go swimming I recommend you use ear plugs to keep the water out and not have any further infections.

you probably have "swimmer's ear"
Do not stick a q-tip in, leave it alone.
You can use short periods of warmth for relieve (fold a towel between your ear and a heating pad). And also take some ibuprofen.
non-prescription ear drops likely won't do any good - they aren't strong enough. You will need a prescription from your doctor.
