Swimmers Ear.......
This is something I learned way back in the dark ages when the wife and I were licensed / certified SCUBA Divers. It is something that the ones of you who can't keep the boat upright might want to know , listen up Bears Buddy an Jack. :lol:
When the head goes underwater , water gets in the ear canals and most of will drain out , some doesn't and can cause an ear ache.
When that happens most folks use Peroxide to wash out the ear canal , when the peroxide is done it leaves a water residue , or more water which puts you right back where you were.
Take some Vodka and some White Vinegar , mix them at a 50 - 50 mix and rinse your ear with it , no more problems.
I have mine in a bottle I got at the pharmacy and it has the squeeze top dropper with it , one or two droppers full in the ear , let it set for a minute or so then tilt the head and let it drain. Repeat the process with the other ear.
The girls ( when younger) would go in town and swim in the pool , they would end up with a ear ache a day or so later so to avoid the doc's I would have them use this mix.
Later ( as a prevention) I would have them use it when they got home from the pool , no more problems , nipped it in the bud.
Needless to say , if the ache continues then see a Doc because it might be on the inside of the ear drum ( which requires medication ) ... not the outside.
