Swim Ear - to swim or not to swim?

Well, here goes....3 weeks before the meet and my ears go to hell!!!!! :frustrated: Today after a good morning swim I got very familiar pain in BOTH of my ears which is much worse now!!!!! GRRRRR!!!! Anyway, I probably will call my doc tomorrow for more ear drops, but the question is: should I wait 5-6 days for the pain to clear or should I try and swim with ear plugs (of course if I can put them in without falling down). Any ideas? Or should I just do land exercises? Thanks again in advance for your patience with me and all you help! :notworthy:

    The best drops are ones you can easily make on your own, rubbing alcohol and vinegar, not only does it smell great, but it works better than anything else. Thank you! I use the kind of drops you are talking about after every practice or shower, I thought it was only for drying the water in the ears not for treating the painful infection or whatever it is.... Does it work for the hurties? I am talking about medicated drops, I still have some left from last time....so....maybe I'll finish the bottle. ;)
