Swimmer's Ear Question Posted: 11-24-06 18:14pm
I have swimmer's ear at least I think I do
I have all the symptoms but I can't get
into a doctor just yet I have to wait a
couple weeks..It's all packed up for some
reason. But I was wondering if there was
things at home that I could minimalize the
smell and discharge even get rid of it.
That would be great thanks -- chris

I am not a Dr. But I used to have this
trouble alot due to taking showers and my
dr told me to use white vinegar and
rubbing alchohol and mix it up and squirt
it in my ear with a syringe but don't put
the syringe in your ear real deep as it is
dark in your ear and you sort of get a
type of fungus in it and it does not dry
properly. You can go out and buy the
stuff for swimmers ear he said which is
over the counter but he said it has about
the same thing in it and this is cheaper,
it might burn a little bit plus I used to
swim a lot too.
Good luck!
