Question: Can swimming cause my ear to hurt and dry up!?
I have been swimming a lot (Almost twice everyday) recently!. On one of my recent swimming trips when I got out my ear hurt a little!. I figured it was just water in my ear so I didnt think much of it!. But its now been three days my ear still hurts and the skin is getting really dry!.Plus I wake up in the middle of the night and cant get back to sleep!. Can anyone tell me what this is and how to cure it!. It would be greatly appreciated!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Yep, it's called Swimmer's Ear!. There's an OTC medicine you can pick up from Walgreens/Walmart or just about any drug store that should clear it right up, just ask the pharmacist!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Swimmers ear (I had this once and it was so painful)
Call your MD they can help remove the 'water' or put you on an antibiotic to help you feel better right away!.
Swimmer's ear is an infection of your outer ear and ear canal!. It can be associated with a middle ear infection (otitis media) if the eardrum ruptures!.
Usually, self-care steps can relieve the symptoms of swimmer's ear!. However, a severe case of swimmer's ear will require a trip to your doctor!.
Swimmer's ear may also cause your outer ear to appear red with scaly or flaking skin!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

i hear you!. That happened to me in Virginia one time and was that torture! When you swim and go deep in to the pool your ears start to pop because of the pressure and when you come up they hurt!. Yes, it's possibly but i wouldnt worry it'll be gone in at least one week!. To keep this from happening further i suggest to wear does ear covers!. That covers up the hole of your ear!. If your really worried then go see a doctor!. The best thing is to just stay out of the water for a while!. Ear drops is another suggestion!. Good luckWww@Answer-Health@Com
