What can you do to prevent "swimmer's ear"?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ear drops: You can get commercial ear drops to prevent the water from sitting in your ear or place a few drops of rubbing alcohol in them after exiting the pool. The comercial drops have moisturizers in them in addition to the alcohol.
