Posted on Sat, 24 Jun 2017
Question: I am 37 Yrs and go swimming with my children (9 & 6 yrs)... Sometimes after coming back from swimming, if water enters the ear, we get ear pain ... it is not too bad but quite irritating. I sometimes use candibioitic ear drops (3 drops per ear) but am not sure if that is the right medicine. Please advise how to treat this if it occurs again.
