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?
Doncha think that the oral antibiotics are because there is most likely a middle ear infection, as well as ear canal (swimmers ear) inflammation? We don't prescribe antibiotics for simple swimmers ear. Why did you pay the doctor for his advice if you don't plan on following it?
