It means you should go and see a doctor.
Swimmers ear is inflamation of the outer ear canal. If that’s what you have then whatever you put in your ear probably just irritated it more.
Don’t mess around with this if your hearing is at stake. Friends’ advice does not outweigh diagnosis and treatment by a qualified physician.
Hi, I’m an Audiologist. Your symptoms could be caused by numerous conditions. The only way to get a diagnosis and appropriate treatment is to have the ear examined by a licensed medical professional. I suggest starting with a general or family practitioner who will then refer you to a ear specialist if needed.
Hi, @hearkat, I hoped you would show up! We’re so lucky to have a pro on board.
It means that you likely have one or several spiders living on your ear canal. It/they grew angry when you poured your remedy in the ear and started attacking your ear drum as punishment. In other words, get to a doctor.
