Water in Ear After Swimming

Go to the drug store and get swimmer's eardrops. They dry out the water in the ear canal.

Now, I want to say that what I really think is that she has swimmer's ear. And that needs a doctor's attention. Swimmer's ear is VERY painful. And it can travel into the middle ear.

The doctor can give you prescription eardrops, as well as antibiotics, if needed. Meanwhile, you can stave off swimmer's ear by putting the over-the-counter drops I mentioned in the first sentence after she comes home from each practice or swimming trip.

Dawn

sounds like swimmers ear.
You probably should take her in BUT I always put a little vinegar and peroxide in my kids ears right after a swim session to fix the ph. Sounds like hers has already festered into an infection. If her outer ear hurts to the touch it's swimmers ear.
You might do well in the future to plug her ears before she swims.
I did well with the vinegar peroxide douche right out of the water tho, it worked well for me and my kids, as I was prone to it as well.

I would take her to the Doctor.
She is having pain.

So sorry for her.
In my country,they put few drops of warm water inside the ear as a bait, then turn down the ear so the " old" +" new" water can go out together. You must turn it fast after the dropping.
Or try to absorb with cotton buds, but it is not that always effective.
Could it be possible that she has earwax. I met a woman whose ears hurt after the shower, turn out that it is the earwax buildups.
So far, the water bait works for me. The position of the head when you do the dropping must be 90 degrees to the left if the it is the right ear, then turnit to the right right away. Good luck mom.
Hope she gets well.

go to Swimmers ear on the internet it helps

Better than alcohol (and less dangerous, since alcohol can be absorbed through the skin), is white vinegar. A few drops--then let it sit for ten seconds, then drain--and she should be fine the next day. I've used it for years when I or the kids get an earache. It's anti-fungal, but it helps no matter what's in one's ears.

It also helps soften ear wax, and several doctors have said it's safe and effective (I've checked).

Hope this helps!

Swimmer's ear - there is a medication you can pick up at CVS/Walgreens/RiteAid whatever drugstore of your choice. It will help. I typically used a hair dryer on med & cool after swimming to prevent it - seemed to work!
