Toggy, I tried the Peroxide but had no relief. Just went out and bought what Jessy said. We will see if it works. Thanks for the info guys.

Trip was great, thanks for asking. I have some of the trips lowdown in the fishing destinations sections. Or you can click here - Punta Cana to see some pics.

I should of known about the swimmers ear, I have sensitive ears.

I will see if this over the counter stuff works.

Ear is feeling a little better this morning, maybe that medicine worked.

Thanks for the welcome backs.

I'm luvin going from 84 degrees to 11.

I know some of you may laugh but use 50/50 solution of white vinegar and water. Put two drops in ear twice a day.

Put some regular rubbing alcahol in your ears. Works great. Dont be schnookered into buying the drops they sell in the drugstore . Their main ingredient is alcahol!

A couple drops of Olive Oil.

Add some garlic and parsley and you have Orecchio Aglio E Olio.

Hi Barb, Swimmers ear is when the small opening in your ears grow smaller due to spending alot of time surfing/swimming/diving in cold water. I think what you probably have is an ear infection. I would recommend a visit to the ear doc to check it out and pick up a prescription for antibiotic ear drops. That will knock it right out.

Good Luck,
Rick

Public swimming pools, and especially beaches near resorts of poor countries are LOADED with the bad stuff... they never close the beaches like the do up here, the water may look clean, but it is anything but.. go to the doctor you probably have an infection..
