Just put a few drops of rubbing alcohol in your ear - it will help dry out the moisture.

This is the home remedy the docs I work for tell patients:
equal parts of rubbing alcohol and white vinegar. Put a few drops in the affected ear three or four times a day. Make sure you dry the ears completely! Use a hair dryer set on low/cool. The hair dryer trick is also good prevention.

The best thing for swimmers ear is to put 5 drops of hydrogen peroxide in each ear. Do one ear at a time laying on your side for at least 10 minutes. It will make you crazy the sound of the bubbling in your ear but it is there to fight infection and clean out the ear canal!!! Works everytime, my granny did it, my mom did it and now I use it as a constant treatment source having a swimming pool I too am often afflicted with it!!!

I went to a specialist over swimmers ear a few years back. He gave me some drops but also gave me some good advice..which at that moment I laughed at him thinking no way would it work.. but here it goes... He told me to hold my nose, take a deep breath, close my mouth and blow...like im gonna blow up a balloon. This allows your ears to pop allowing air inside. I did it often..and soon my ears felt better.. Hope you feel better soon... even if you dont try this.. I bet I got a few laughs today..But honestly..it is NOT a joke..
