A member asked:
Can i "drink" alcohol with swimmers ear?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Swimmers ear: Your question is a good one, but it's a little confusing. It's confusing because there is a medical condition called swimmers ear and there is an ear drop by same name. The ear drop, interestingly, is an alcohol-based ear drop, but it's a different kind of alcohol than you would drink. Bottom line, whether you're using swimmers ear drops or just suffering with the ear condition, okay to drink.
