Home cure for swimmer’s ear

To treat swimmer’s ear, put few drops of white vinegar in the ear. Let it remain there for a few minutes and then turn the ear down to pour the solution out. Repeat this 2-3 times for at least 3-4 days. This helps in treating bacterial or fungal infection.
For curing water clogging, mix 3-4 drops of apple cider vinegar with equal amounts of water or alcohol immediately after coming out of water. This will also avert any further infection.
Pour a few drops of some warm baby oil in the ears and fix cotton balls to stop the oil from draining out.
To remove moisture from the ears, blow dry it gently with a hair dryer.
Mix together equal amounts of white vinegar, water and peroxide. Pour a few drops in the ear and leave it for one minute. Then drain it out and plug the ear with a cotton ball. Do this process every night before going to bed.
Before going in the pool, put a few drops of oil in the ear to prevent water getting in it.
Do not insert any hard object to clean the ears, use cotton buds.
Wear earplugs while swimming and stay away from polluted or contaminated water.
After every swim, shake out water from the ears and dry the openings thoroughly with a soft towel.
