Question

How do you get rid of an ear ache after going swimming?

Answer 1

Well make clean your ears with a q-tip or something to release the water out of your ears,  

Answer 2

Try dropping isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol into your ears.  Just one or two drops.

This will break the surface tension of any water that is stuck in your ears and help it to dry out.

Answer 3

i had i earache after swimming and i now they hurt alot!!!!!!!!

i put ice on it and it will go away if you keep the ice against it for a while

Answer 4

Well if its immediately afterwards, try leaning your head to the right and tapping your left palm on your left ear, to try and get some of that water out, and do the same with the right ear. If its been like a day or more, and it still hurts, you probably have Swimmers Ear. I used to get Swimmers Ear every time I got into a pool, ocean, lake, river, etc. Until I was about 16 then it stopped. But there is an OTC liquid called Swimmers Ear that you can drop in your ears after swimming, and it dries up the water. Or, you can wear ear plugs, which I had to do for years.

Answer 5

You have water clogged in your ear.  You have a case of swimmer's ear.  It is bacteria caused in your inner ear.  Please see a doctor!
