So I went to the walkin clinic at lunch. My lovely cold has nothing to do with my very sore ear. Apparently I have a bad case of swimmers ear in my left ear. It has been bugging me for a while which is why I use an ear plug in it. The cold just made it feel worse. Apparently I have had it for a while and let it go way to long. So I have some strong ear drop antibiotics and NO SWIMMING FOR A WEEK. Then once back in the pool I am to use an ear plug. I am soooooooooooo disapointed :violin:. My ear is very sore, I am not feeling well with the cold and I am just in a whiny cranky pathetic mood. I feel bad for missing a week of swimming. What will I do with all that extra sleep? Has anyone else had a bad case of swimmers ear?:sad: Katie
