    There is regular swimmers ear medication at any drug store. It's an infection in your ear canel. If it's bad enought you have to get antibiotics. Here's a link that will help

    And the sock deal above also helps,, I use dry cooking rice.

    AND DON"T Do what the 'scuba diver' says !! If you have a middle ear infection blowing will make it far worse. I'm a former scuba instructor!!! P.A.D.I. He must have missed that class

    If you can' t get to the store tonight fill a sock w/ salt and microwave it about 30 seconds lay down with the affected ear on it the salt should draw out the moisture

    Buy this stuff called "Simmers Ear" at Rite Aid or Walgreens or any drug store probably.

    It's about 6 bucks a bottle, but it works great.

    I use to get really horrible ear infections any time I got water in my ears, but now I use this stuff afterwords and have no problems.

    You need to get some AquaEar drops from your chemist. Works like a charm.

    pinch your nose and attempt to breathe out of your nostrils

    dont blow to hard or itll hurt more

    just enough to where you feel relief

    im a scuba diver and have to do this alllllll the time

    oh and some are able to wiggle their jaw and swallow at the same time

    if you can do it, it works pretty well

    hope this helped
