Swim with ear inflammation

I need an advice from you swimmers, My left ear started to ache 10 days ago. Since I had to go on a trip for few days, I decided not to take care of it assuming it would heal by itself. Well, it didn't. The doctor prescribed me with antibiotics. Both pills and ear drops for a week and recommended to avoid swimming. A friend of mine who also swims had a similar problem a while ago but hos doctor said that swimming would not worsen the inflammation. Do you think that swimming with the inflammation would be a good idea? Should I try and use ear plugs for a while?

    Pick a time when the pool won't be available anyhow since we're so close to the holidays. :) Have a few kickboard days Cross-train One of my friends had ear damage, tubes put in, etc. She was told no more swimming and no more showers, ever. !!
