I didnt stick anything in my ear to get the water out, and i dont REALLY have any other symptoms, im a little tiny bit disoriented, but it could be because im tired or because of the pain.
i also have a problem where i clench my teeth when im stressed, so it could be that i suppose, but this feels different.

It sounds like based on the teeth issue that you are dealing with TMJ (this is something that causes the jaw to be inflammed, it's called temporal mandibular jaw) Syndrome. I have this as well and one of the symptoms I had of it was pain in my ear.
But it also sounds like your ear could be infected. I would recommend seeing your doctor for further evaluation of the situation to see what they think is going on.

Yeah, it does sound a lot lot like an ear infection. They aren't very comfortable! Go to the doctor and get some meds that will help clear it out in less than 24 hours.

You may have an ear infection. Did you stick anything in your ear to get the water out? If so you may have irritated the lining of your external ear canal. See a medical doctor if it continues to hurt. Try warmth to the area for comfort.

Take 1000 mgs of aspirin or Tylenol. If it still hurts tomorrow go to the doctor. If it's an ear infection they'll fix you right up.
You're gonna be fine. Try and get to sleep. Don't worry about work or school tomorrow. If it hurts, get to a doctor. Good luck, hon. Lynn

It sounds like you have an ear infection. I would go to the doctor and get it checked. Antibiotics will clear it up in no time, plus they can give you medicine in your ear for the pain.
