What Treatment Do You Suggest For Swimmers Ear ?
Hi - I was diagnosed with swimmers ear bilaterally due to trying to clean my ears out with debrox. I ve been on augmentin day 5/10 but i am just starting Cipro ear drops. The swelling in my ear is a little better but still pretty inflammed. I have to fly on a 2 hour flight in exactly six days. Will be okay to fly?

hello. yes i dont think flying will be an issue ,since in swimmers ear the infection is limited to the external ear. if the swelling does not subside, then ask your ENT doctor to consider adding some steroid drops for reducing it. that will help. thanks
