Yes, it will usually evaporate within an hour of getting out. If it doesn't, there are ear-drying drops out there. {Careful with these, though.}
Don't stick anything up your ear! You'd do more harm than good. If the ear-drying drops don't work out, use a hair dryer set on warm or cool.

Your ear has been hurting ever since swimming 2 days a go what should you do?
You have swimmers ear. You need ear drops. Twice a day and it will be gone soon. Well,either you have got water stuck in it or you have caught an ear infection. for water in the ear the thing that always works for me is jumping on the side of the sore ear onto a sofa or a mattress. For an ear infection well, this is a very common thing to catch while swimming just get drops and if it continues see a doctor for syringing (rinsing the ear out with water-It feels quite nice!)

How do you know if you have an ear infection caused by swimming?
It is not really possible to tell that Swimming caused this condition. It is not likely to be caused by swimming in salt water. Fresh Water however (not chlorinated as in a public bath) might expose you to various bacteria that ultimately might cause an ear infection or other infectuary problems. Statistics can be used in order to determine the likelihood of an infectious disease spreading from a particular place. If a doctor get many people with similar conditions after swimming in the same place/water, then this increases the likelihood of this.
