The Doctors the one who found it out, so he knows. But I got water in my ear and it is painful, so I was wondering if anyone knew any home remedies. Thanks!


Answers:

I get swimmers ear a lot. My mom uses rubbing alcohol on me, she has me lean over so the the ear that needs treated is facing the ceiling. She then pours some of the rubbing alcohol in the cap and pours maybe 3/4 of it down my ear. Stay in the same position for a couple of seconds then stand up and lean your body the other direction so your affected ear is facing the floor. The rubbing alcohol should drip right out and so will the water. If it doesn't work the first time try leaving the alcohol in a few seconds longer because it may not have traveled far enough to the water in your ear. We use this method every time we get water in our ears and it works like a charm.

If it doesn't work after about 4 tries take a break for about an hour and try again. Also there is a swimmers ear solution that is close to rubbing alcohol that can be found in target or walmart.
