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 everyone for their stories of swimmers ear.
I guess my question of whether I should swim was mute LOL. I can barely breathe as my cold is so wicked and my ear is killing me ( though not related to one another, I am just a lucky girl). So swimming is out of the question. I will head back Monday and hope that I am not to far behind. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.
It is hard to believe how sore swimmers ear is. YIKES. I will buy the auro-dri and I will use earplugs ( it is just the one ear)
Thanks again from a very cranky Katie:(
