Help! i have swimmers ear and its extremely pain-full!

Question

i got swimmers ear on thursday and now its sunday and i am on antibiotics and medicine to help ease the pain but all that has happened is that the pain has got worse. what should i do to at least ease the pain? i have already went to the doctor and they gave me the antibiotics to treat the swimmers ear. i wake up in the middle of the night and have to sit up because its even more painful to lay down, i guess that i all i am asking is how to help the pain so that i can make it through the night? and yes i am taking ibuprofen and tylenol but it dosnt work. THANKS!

Answer 1

Get a dropper and drop in a few drops of rubbing alcohol into the ear.  this will help dry up the water that has seeped into the drum and caused this infection.  Then take a wet cloth and microwave it till it is pretty warm and place it on your ear.  Please do these things and you will see how it will work.
