Swimmer's ear

I searched this forum in various ways and couldn't find this topic, which I find hard to believe. I think I have swimmer's ear, which is weird, b/c I haven't had that in decades. It seems to hurt at night, then itches. I'm wondering if it's ok to swim or should I wait it out. Do I need any kind of antibiotic ear drops? I usually use homemade drops (white vinegar/alcohol) after swimming, but haven't done it lately.

  • I've only been to the pool twice this week because of shoulder and neck pain. It started a few weeks ago and just won't go away, so I had my teacher look at my stroke and she said it's fine. The doc wants me to lay off swimming for a week, but it's making me crazy and I don't think it's doing anything to make my shoulder better.
