Swimmer's Ear
The build up of moisture in the ear canal is known as 'swimmer's ear' & when aggravated by the presence of bacteria, it can cause extreme itchiness & pain. Keeping the ear free of water helps dramatically so, every time you come out of the pool, shower or bath, train a hair dryer on each ear for 20 seconds. If the itchiness is more than you can bear, try a few drops of white vinegar in the ear canal (much like medical ear doctor drops). Ensure the vinegar gets deep into the canal by moving your head slightly. Then, after 30 seconds, allow the fluid to drain out. Aim for two drops for each ear & continue for five days. If this doesn't help, visit your doctor --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Access the Recipes And More list archives at: http://www.mail-archive.com/recipesandmore%40googlegroups.com/ Visit the group home page at: http://groups.google.com/group/RecipesAndMore -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
