...I has it.
It hurts (a lot) in the left ear--even my jaw, a little--and my right ear is constantly getting some kind of drainage but it's not painful.
How can I get rid of both of these, short of a prescription? (If I can't do it in a couple of days, I'll bite and go get one). I tried ear drops (smells like rubbing alcohol) in my left ear. Ear wax remover drops and a subsequent flush seem to help in the right ear but it keeps coming back.
I wear an mp3 player when I swim to avert BOREDOM, so earplugs are probably out of the question--how can I treat this yucky stuff?
Could it be that the pool I just swim in is "dirty"? There is so much chlorine in there, I don't see how. But if a lot of people are in it, it gets cloudy.
What can I do?
:bed:
I got it once after Big Shoulder's 5K.
I bought the over-the-counter swimmer's ear solution.(probably just alcohol) and put it in the ear. The first day I took off swimming. The second day I bought some silicone earplugs (the molding type) and went for wit with a swim. The plugs kept the water out and I was fine. I think it took 4 or 5 days and my ear was back to normal.
Good luck.
oh, I wore the ear plugs for 3 or 4 days after my ears seemed to be well then discontinued use of plugs.
