Default How to help an ear ache and swimmers ear? - 12-20-2008, 03:31 PM

My friend has an ear ache, and swimmers ear. This is the third day she has had it and she is in pain. She has tried ear drops, heating pad, pain killers, hydrogen paroxide, mineral oil but nothing will work. She's also been waking up during the night and cannot hear out of it. How can she get rid of it, or at least make it feel better?

The only way I know of to get rid of swimmers ear is to contact your doctor. She really needs antibiotic ear drops and you can only get those with a prescription.Good luck

You should go to the doctor and get perscripted ear drops. Also if you go to the doctor they might clean it too.
