My son thomas who is 13 picked up swimmers ear at a swim camp in Barcelona in October 2006. Since then he has hardly been able to train. He went back to training this week after a fornight of anti-biotic ear drops, he swam Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday,Friday and on Sunday had to come out of the pool as his ears are sore. I have had ear plugs made for him but water is still getting into his ears. He is so desperate to keep on swimming but I don't know what else to do. His ears are so dry inside and I have been putting almond oil in them to them lubricated. Can anyone help us please.
