Answer 1

This is confusing. You have known a few weeks ago that you have swimmers' ear. It did not get better. So, logically I would think you would consult a doctor. So, I don't know who gave you the tips for checking the indicators without checking your ear - but cannot be a doctor or a medical professional. So, all these weeks, you have not attended to the problem which could get worse. So, please seek a professional advice.

1. Please don't self-diagnose.

2. There are drops available at drugstore for swimmers' ear; you can check the shelf and choose the brandname you like. It is possible to make your own from the things available in the medicine cabinet at home.

3. Even if it was swimmers' ear, it depends on how many weeks it is gone unattended; the problem could have been advanced. Make sure, you have no infection.

4. In rare cases, vax build up also hurts.

Good luck.

Answer 2

that sucks. good luck

Answer 3

Just for clarification purposes, swimmer's ear is an ear infection of the outer ear; swimmer's ear is just the common name.  Like the first responder, you should really get it checked out by your doctor if it has been bothering you for a few weeks.  There are home remedies, but I hestitate to offer those with as long as you've been in pain.  Better to check with a professional first.
