Swimmers ear: True swimmer's ear, a bacterial infection of the external ear canal, is treated with a prescription ear drops dissolution containing antibiotics and hydrocortisone. Your pharmacist can recommend a nonprescription ear drop product that contains an anesthetic compound that numbs ear canal pain.
