Swimmers Ear

Swimmers ear is an infection in the outer ear canal brought on by water that remains in your ear after swimming, creating a moist environment that aids bacterial growth.

Swimmers ear had me crying like a baby. Waited too long to get treatment for it. I've passed kidney stones and survived appendicitis. I think swimmers' ear pain is a hard 8.5/10 on the pain scale.

So believe me or not, but i had swimmers ear and everything i was told to do wasn't really working. But when i took a hot shower, i used a abnormally faster stream of the water to flush out my ear and not only did it like apply almost immediate pain relief for the rest of the day, i was cured 2 days later

I have swimmer’s ear currently. This pain is almost unbearable. I went to Urgent Care and was given ear drops yesterday, I hope they are working… I’m paranoid that the drops are not going in because of the swelling.

when i go swimming i put my head underwater a few times and pop out. Wait a few seconds... then whenever my ears feel nice and cleaned out i leave. Sometimes water will just pop out other times it does not. Need to make sure. Had ear plug surgery as a kid

It feels like someones electrocuting your ear every 3 seconds with a tazer

I don't know if I have it but my ear keeps doing tiny pops lile when water leaves your ear.

Use a hair dryer for your ear when ever you take a shower or swimming..adjust it on the right temperature and a medium speed first..do it for 2 minutes ..it works...you can also use some drops of rubbing alcohol..boric alcohol or white venigar( one half venigar and the other is water or rubbing alcohol) after the water go inside your ear..these remedies can be effective for immediate relief of pain or itching and can dry your ear and prevent any bacterial or fungal infection

It’s day 4 and the drops are not help at all, my right eardrum is killing me. Idk if I should leave the drops in longer than 5-10 mins and leave them in for overnight to absorb

What I was taking a bath/shower, I got water inside my ear and the sounds started sounding like underwater even if my head isn't underwater.

Bro I've had swimmers ear for a few days now and I got an ear drop treatment. However, I think I let the drops a bit too deep into the ear and now they wont come out no matter what I do. What do I do? 😭
