How to Prevent Swimmers’ Ear

by Kelley Wilson Filed Under: Health and Beauty, Home Tips, Kid Tips, Parenting 6 Comments

Do your kids love to swim any chance they get during the summer? If they do, they may be prone to swimmers ear. Swimmers ear is caused by water or bacteria sitting in your ear canal which can cause an infection and become painful. Usually, a prescription ear drop will clear it up, but if you want a way to prevent it from happening I'm going to share with you this home remedy given to us by our children's pediatrician to prevent swimmers ear. 

My Pediatrician's recipe to prevent swimmers ear so there are no ear aches this summer!

PLEASE NOTE:  I am not a doctor, this recipe is passed out to all patients at my pediatricians. This recipe is NOT recommended for swimmers with tubes in their ears and will not clear up an infection. It is only recommended for preventative measures. If you are unsure please check with your child's Doctor first.

    Wish I'd read this a few years ago! My older daughter loved to swim and was very good at it, but had to give up competitive swimming because of repeated ear infections. She tried wearing earplugs but the water always got in. Still, at least now if she wants to swim for fun we can make sure she doesn't get ill afterwards. (Once I've worked out where to buy rubbing alcohol - it's not something we use much in the UK, as far as I know!) Thanks for passing on the tip.

      Poor thing, that is a total bummer I hate that for her. In the US we usually find it in the first aid section and it is readily available.
