Ear infection are worse than a swimmers ear... When I had a ear infection I was throwing up and my ear felt like someone put a bomb in it. It hurt so bad I felt like my life was about to end.. And here I am crying at 4 am bc I have swimmers ear.

Trey Godsey For reference, I’m female, 13 years old, about 5’4 and roughly 110lbs-115lbs. I hope this helps because I’m not sure about your age and measurements, but I took 375mg (one pill) of Naproxen and it took the aches and pains right away. I hope you consider this method if you ever have an infection again. Also, don’t drink anything warm because your nose, throat and ears are connected. A cold drink may sooth the pain for a bit or even help with the swelling. If your jaw feels tight from the swelling, don’t worry so much because it’s normal and try eating something like an Apple, peach or apricot etc that you can bite into. If you are going to get your ears wet in the shower, I suggest those earplugs people use in factories or when they sleep. (The neon-foam ones). This may sound silly but try not to mess with your hair if possible because this could change the anatomy of the ear canal temporarily and cause pain or discomfort. Don’t put anything into your ear unless instructed by a doctor. Last but not least, you don’t necessarily need a prescription for the drops, only the antibiotics so if you are shifting towards using drops instead of pills you can find them at your nearest CVS, grocery store or any other stores that sell a wide range of medicines.

Same the only thing I would wish on my worst enemy is wet socks

tbh it sucks especially when ur on swim team season

Yes my mom have spent 400 dollars on medicine

Same rn 😭😭😭

*Now is June 24, 2022, so how is your ear now and what did you do???*

@@64Magick when i got mine i got some prescription ear drops and used my finger to push that little piece of tissue into my ear creating a plunger like effect and pushing the drops deeper in where they needed to be and used them twice a day even after it was done until i was out of drops as instructed by my doctor, used heating pads a lot and stuck through the pain along with some tylenol sinus max and some over the counter pain meds

@@un1qu3n4m3 so your feeling better now?

@Mohammad Al-Shuwaiee oh no, hope it gets better

SolesAndSwag it's really painful I have it right now and it hurts so much

Yeah it goes away for a second and then kills me right after

seriously

Kko

yep

I haven't slept in 2 days . When will the antibiotics fucking work

@@katianna7306 Ong I have the same thing going on rn this is the worst pains

@@andresnthomas3295 are you feeling better ? The pain is so bad that i started crying out of nowhere 😂. I felt pain in my whole face and i couldn't even swallow and looked like shit . And had fever too . the antibiotics finally worked tho

@@katianna7306 yea the stuff finally starting to work😂

I have my right ear infected and I can only sleep on my right side. I tried on my back, left side but nothing works. I just try not to touch it. I'll have to go see the doctor.

Morphine was the only medication that relieved me of the pain that Swimmer's Ear gave me. I was in the hospital for a couple of days. Take this seriously people. If you're children are crying from the pain, trust them, they're in pain.

The realest how long did it take to go away im in pain right now pls respond

Big Mac Sauce​ After you get it diagnosed and treated, depending on the severity of the pain and the strength of the pain medication, it could take about a whole day to get passed the pain entirely, after being given medical attention of course. I suggest going to a good hospital, not the most common and congested hospital either. Go to a good and not so busy one. I had to go to the emergency room twice before they would finally admit me the third time. Went to the biggest hospital in Phoenix and that was a bad idea. I was in a lot of pain, so much that I was shaking and kept my eyes closed and my mouth shut tight. It's no joke. Get it taken care of immediately. Hope you feel better soon.

The realest I currently have it and I can't even sleep because of it!

The realest i have it now hurts bad

It hurts so badly 😭

agony

Yep lol

Same I have it now do you still have it?

I'm literally crying rn. I can't handle the pain

Omg same!!! It hurts to talk!

DevilsRevenge35 right how long did it last cuz I had this for like 15 days and it's so painful

Omg yesss I can’t eat at all I couldn’t eat for about 3 days now and it has been hurting me since a week

There is no way I am going back in the water ever again after this

It's so painful though

😭yooo most random encounter

Yep lol

😂😂😂

I went to the er and got medicine for it its my second day still hurts like a b

@@chato6853 I'm lucky , I just took a couple of paracetamol and the next day the swelling was almost gone. Now it's completely off and even the pressure in my ears was gone too.

@@shairamaeaudreysoriano4696 ugh I'm only taking ear drops and ibuprofen it sucks

@@chato6853 just don't sleep on the side of that affected ear, and make sure it doesn't get wet while taking a bath. Hope yours will get away soon.

i know this is from a while ago but yesss i just got it and i’m in so much pain i went to the ER and nothing is helping i haven’t slept in days

I would not wish that pain on the devil himself.

Fr, my whole right ear hurts, I can’t hear out of it. My right jaw hurts.

😆😆😆, thank you for making me laugh through my pain

I have it, I woke up at 3 AM because the pain was so bad.

Spacebar did it go away yet? My ears are clogged it feels like

Slozilla Yes it's gone I had the swimmers ear and the infection at the same time. My eardrum was pink.

Spacebar how long does it take that go away and when does my hearing come back

My hearing was fine, It took me like a week it sucks

Same I told my mom I couldn’t hear I felt uncomfortable I still have it but my mom took me to the doctor i got ear drops I did research it’s say i have to wait 7-10 days and idk if I can handle it I’m still crying I’m still even tho it’s heals 7-10 days I wish I never have this again

@@zeneeworld18 what happened I have it rn

Amen oooo....I am off the hook. It's so pains that I can't sleep non eat.

I got you I have it also I'm not trolling on god if this doesnt help you I'm sorry look up something and buy bc powder it takes alot of the pain away btw it's my 5th day having it and it gets better

Has it gone?? How much time did it take?

Will putting raw dry Himalayan salt in my ear help?

@@airbound7407 wtf, go to the pharmacy and buy the special salt water used to clean infections etc

Me and I'm mad and sad 😭

Has it gone?? How much time did it take?

How long do you let the solution stay in your ear before you drain it?

@@singkitchocoleit8964 as the doctor said, 30 seconds

@@singkitchocoleit8964 how do you drain it? I cant get it out

@@asbjrnravn2883 tilt your head

Omg yes my jaw won’t even open no more😭

New Dork City this is my first time getting swimmers ear .no one in my house understand how it feels and then my brothers r like u r so dramatic and I love swimming but after this I am not swimming again

I have gotten swimmers ear 3 times im on my 3rd one and it hurts like hellllllll

If u done surgery then u can swim freely

Has it gone?? How much time did it take?

Fr like why did we have to get it during school season 🗿

This! I had it in class and my teachers said I was “overreacting” so I had to sit there in excruciating pain for hours. They also didn’t allow me to bring my ear drops.

EDIT: after a few days of commenting this I’m all Gucci. It hurts like hell at first but in a few days it should be good. Also I was crying in pain while writing the og comment so yea. Good luck btw

How many days before it went away? Did you seek for medical help?

Trisha Marie Vallente it’s been some time but I think it took me around 4-6 days ish. And yes I did seek medical help, they gave me ear drops which did help a lot.

Loll ahha

Same ;-;

Has it gone?? How much time did it take?

@@dayasagarkudva2689Yes after using antibiotic drops.. took me about 2 days only to be pain free.

my family built a pool recently and I only have one week left of summer. Then, poof, swimmers ear. literally of all the times i could have gotten it i got it the last week of summer so i cant even use the pool it sucks

Can you give me some updates, my ear hurts so bad

*So what did you do???* *Did you put hydrogen peroxide in your ear???*

@@64Magick I don’t recommend Hydrogen Peroxide unless you have a bunch of earwax build up, but if you use too much, your ear wax protection layer that protects the ear from infections will disappear leaving the ear(s) really sensitive, and if you decide to get in a pool right after, (what I did) it will make it way worse!

@@bajablastmyass682 LOL, yup me to....I finally got fed up with the money grubbing doctors and bought a mini vacuum and sucked the gunk out right after spending 7 minutes blow drying it....TA DAHHH, GOOD AS NEW!!! 20/20 HEARING!!!

same here i want to die it hurts so bad

My second time too😣

same. Second time too

vidaddict101 lol I posted that comment 2 years ago 😂 but to this day that shit is one of the most painful things I’ve ever gone through I feel u

Id rather walk a mile on legos than have this pain f#@&!!!!!

Is the pain gone for you. Im having this pain right now and i wish someone just shots me now to end my pain. Plz the me how long it took you to stop the pain.

@@KIRUT0 it took the pain to go away for about 1 week with the help of antibiotics, pain reliever and eye drops that can be used for the ears too, that i got from the ear doctor bc that pain was so bad i couldn’t even sleep so yup went to the doctor, but it def helped! after a week im back at swimming ! it’ll get better tho! but probably w/o medication i think it’ll take ab 2 weeks or smth! get well soon !

@@gyana4real i got ear drops and when i put some they dont go in and just come out of my ear

Hey man same here! I had swimmers ear at the right side and once that ear was treated two days later my left ear started to hurt! How long did it take for all of it to go away?

@@noaccount5573 Usually, it takes 6-7 days to pass but it depends on your symptoms!
