I went swimming 2 days ago and some air got into my left ear and is now blocked( the same feeling you sometimes get on a plane)
I went to then doctors who said everything looked fine and gave me an antibiotic spray.That hasn't worked and ive tried the 'holding your nose' and blowing thing.No luck.
Does anyone have any tips or an idea of how long it should take?
Thanks

Neither do I have swelling, itching or any of the other 'swimmers ear' symptoms(apart from hearing loss)

go to the drugstore and get something called swimmers ear, they're drops....it dries up the water in a day or 2, it worked for my son and he had pain with it too! Hope that helped.....good luck!

You got air in your ear? (and your doc gave you an antibiotic spray? WTF?)
No, you probably got water in your (outer) ear. Google for "swim ear" for treatment
