I was reading there are two ways your ears can be infected; it can be your ears themselves; water has gotten in and gone "stale" and lovely fungi are growing :-) or up through your eustachian tube from your nose/throat where you had an infection recently, yes? So, cleaning out your ears might not help, you may need more antibios depending on where the ear thing is coming from.

I'd definately go to an otolaryngologist, the ear/nose/throat doctor.
