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-
I've had it twice. Not a lot of fun. Sorry it's keeping you out of the water. After the second bout, I got the ear drop and ear plugs. The drops I use every time I swim, but I've only used the plugs a few times. You need to figure out which works best for you. Some people seem prone to swimmers ear, while others never (or rarely) get it.
Feel better,
Dana
