What Causes Earache And Dizziness After Swimming?

hi, i had pool water get in my ear and i couldn t get it out. 2 days later i went to urgent care and the nurse got rid of my wax and water by spraying hard-forced water spray from a gun into my ear. It hurt very much and i was initially dizzy for 10 seconds. now a week later my ear feels clogged and hurts every now and then. do you think i have a bruised eardrum? i did get antibiotics forths a few days ago.
