Put a smal drop or two of rubbing alcohol in the ear!. This will help dry up any water that is in the ear!. Excessive fluids in the ear are your biggest source of pain!.
Also use a heating pad on the ears too, heat seems to releave some pain!.
They have ear drops designed for swimmers's ear, at any pharmacy, but if you read the main ingredient, it's alcohol!. Rubbing alcohol is much cheaper!. Don't put too much in though, or it may cause the ears to feel itchy!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

We have three sons who all swam competitively and swimmer's ear was a constant potential problem!. One son especially had problems with it!. We sent him off with a squeeze bottle in his backpack of vinegar and hydrogen peroxide mized 50/50 mix to rinse his ears after each swim (dripping a bit in each ear with his head tilted - NOT a hard squirt!!!!)!. It worked very well!. But that is a preventative!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
