Try a hair dryer blowing in the ear at a warm setting. Then go see a doctor.

Sweet Oil works for me. Put a drop of sweet oil in the ear and then put a piece a cotton in the ear. Let it set for 20 minutes then pull the cotton out and clean the ear with a Q TIP
Good luck I know it hurts

If it is true swimmer's ear, then there is a bacterial infection in the outer canal of the war, and it is very painful. Over the counter remedies will not kill the bacteria, and this could cause inner ear infections as well as intense pain.
If you think it is swimmer's ear, please go to a doctor.

A tsp of boric acid, a tsp of vinegar, and a tsp of alcohol (equals 1 tbsp) is the same as swimmers ear medication according to our Eckerds Pharmacist. It works.

Nope not that I know of, go to the doctor and get the drops... I tried waiting it out at home before and it ended up getting so bad that my jaw was starting to lock up and I could barely move it! Caused by a parasite... Get the prescription you'll feel much better!
