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.
Nancy, my ENT told me that unless the earplugs are custom fitted, earplugs can trap water in the ear canal. I've never used them. I've been swimming for 30 years and this is probably the 2d earache I've ever had. But they seem to work for you. :applaud:
