Oh no! So I have swimmers ears, thanks to my beloved bubble baths! Now my surgery is schedules for October 8th so maybe I have time to heal. Does anyone know of any home remedies to make it better? I just hope it does not affect my surgery. Antibiotics drops does nothing for my ears as my doc told me that it takes about the same time to cure with or without antibiotics, which I find to be true based on my own experiences. I don't have a fever so thats good. I am just scared to have an ear infection as my last surgery date was canceled due to a severe cold:crying:

Hello,

I just got a pool this summer. I got a painful earache. I even started to have congestion in my head and phlegm. YUCK. I felt bad. I put alcohol in my ear and took a nap with it in. For the next couple of days, I put alcohol in my ears at least twice a day. It worked. I didn't have to go to the doctor. I was amazed.

Ooh thanks so much Mango! I read about that but I didn't want to try it with out any testimonials lol. I will try it! Thanks again. How long did it take for yours to clear up?

I felt better the next day. It took a couple of days for the ear pain to go away.

My mother used witch hazel on a cotton ball for my ear infections when I was a kid. Worked for me.

I tried the alcohol and vinegar mix and WOW, I feel waaaaaaaaay better! Thanks so much for telling me about the alcohol!
