OUCH: Swimmer's ear is notoriously painful - even just touching your affected ear can feel like a knife going through your head. Start treatment asap, and ask doctor if the drops prescribed have topical steroid in them, which will help reduce the inflammation from the infection quicker. In the meantime, Ibuprofen will help take the edge off the pain.
