GRRR...Swimmers ear sucks

[James3shin]

Man I didn't dry off my ears well enough after a shower it seems and my left ear has swimmers ear, any treatments/remedies that swimmers apply? I did the alcohol/d. vinegar drops. Seemed to help.

You need antibiotics if it's really swimmers ear.

Once you have it there isn't much I can tell you to help it go away aside from wearing wax ear plugs when you shower so no more water gets in.

What exactly are the symptoms of swimmers ear?

Extreme pain akin to childbirth. I'm not kidding.

I would suggest odorless garlic pills.

The alcohol/d. vinegar mix seems to be helping. The symptoms involve a bump/swollen area around the entrance of the ear that is painful if you were to slightly pull your ear in the direction you are facing.

I had that when I was a kid since I went swimming pretty much every day. I used those wax plugs for a while and it went away with time.
