iYou should go to your doctor and have them prescribe antibiotics. you should put 4-5 antibiotic drops in swimmers ear. and until you recieve your antibiotics you should probably discontinue swimming. how ever if swimming means a lot to you then make sure and clean your ear out after swimming. dont use cotton swabs. use CLEAN water
yes it can get a swimmers ears
no, this wouldn't be smart because you need to get swimmers ear treated right away, use ear drops
Contaminated water
It is caused by water entering the ear canal. You should get it out after swimming.

swimmers waer earplugs to keep from water getting inside their ears.
I'm so sorry to say, but it hurts so much, it's like being on fire and getting punched in the face by a bat. But it will be gone in 2-3 days.
Yes, it can in some cases.
No, swimmers ear can not switch ears. When you are in the water for a while you will notice your fingers get wrinkly. This is what happens in your ear after some time. When this happens it allows germs to get into your skin and causes an infection. So if one ear is completely fine, it will not get swimmers ear unless you allow water to be in your ear for some time.
It is generally not recommended to swim with swimmer's ear, even with ear plugs. Swimming can worsen the condition and increase the risk of complications. It is best to avoid swimming until the infection has cleared up completely.
You can wear ear plugs, or everytime you get out of the water, air them out with your finger, or if you have a cap, pull it over your ears.
