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:

I returned on Tueday. It is going well. Glad to be back in the pool. My cold is totally gone. I am not sure if my ear is cleared yet. HMMMMMMMM. I may go to the same walk in clinic tomorrow to check. I bought some Auro Dri. You can feel it cooling off.
I have a way to go with my swimming but it is sure coming along. I hate the earplug in the one ear as I cannot hear the coach. So I am hoping the hair dryer in the ear and the auro dri do the trick
Good luck to you
