Answers:
It probably happened again. Water gets behind ear wax and festers. If yu have had tubes in your ear it could have got into your middle ear and festered. This can cause deafness, and must be seen to by a doctor/antibiotics all that.
It is after hours, and if you want to try something that probably would have worked *yesterday*... Lay your infected ear downwards on a heating pad. Heat kills bacteria, and it also melts ear wax, so that it may drain. Even if it does drain, go to the tomorrow doctor anyway.
If it is really painful, you could go to the ER tonight and have it drained. You will probably wait almost until tomorrow anyway.
