...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?

Hi I have a question about ear infections: presumably they are caused by water logged in the ears which does not get out. My question (to those unfortunately got infections) is: were you actually aware of a particular instance of water being in the ear and did not get out, or not? In other words, was that one day you felt there was water in the ear which you couldn't get out, then later on you got infections; or was that you were totally unaware there was water inside your ear, and just gradually the ear got infected, though your ears felt fine after each swimming?
