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.

    dulfin, I take Nasonex everyday, and the side effects seemed worse, or so I thought. Hmmm, now I don't know what to do. Ironically, I take Nasonex to keep my nasal passages less swollen yet I realized when I looked online yesterday that the side effects (dizziness--which I have) and sinusitis (which i get often) could be worse than not taking anything at all! I hate taking allergy meds. They really dry me out and I already am a person who is always thirsty (mouth breather), drinking liters of water a day (and visiting the latrine all too often).
