Ear Problems

[Troutbuster]

Thanks everyone. I am going to an ENT today. I had thought about using the alcohol but wasn't sure. I don't have an infection anymore but do have the trapped water. I ordered a set of the ProPlugs so until I get those I think I will hold off on anymore dives, as bad as I hate to.

Trout good to see your going to the doc, the sooner they catch the ear infectio the sooner you wil be back in the water. I was put on Floxin and within three days the pain was gone. I now use 50% Rubbing Alcohole and 50% viniger or Hydrogen peroxide mix I will put this in my ear after each dive for at least five minutes per ear to kill any bacteria and to assist in drying your ears out. I havent had a problem since, I hope this helps
