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:

Thanks Blackbeard.
I have done some research on the net about swimmers ear and you are right I have to stay out of the water. I am sooooooo disapointed as this was my 8th week of swimming. Emotionally I am not ready for a break. Also food wise this is not a good week. GRRRRRRRRR. But I guess one week in my long life ( I hope wont lol)
Do you all wear earplugs now that you have had swimmers ear?
