@1snotdoc: Your ear itches after the pool. Here's what's actually happening 👇 Swimmer's ear = outer ear infection. Completely different from the ear infections kids get with colds. Water changes your ear canal from acidic to alkaline. Bacteria love that. Pseudomonas and Staph move in fast. Q-tips make it worse. They strip the wax that protects you. 5 moves to prevent it: ✅ Tilt, shake & dry after every swim ✅ Low-heat hair dryer at a distance ✅ Earplugs if you're in frequently ✅ Acidifying drops to restore pH ✅ Nothing in your ears — no Q-tips, no fingers Catch it early? White vinegar drops work. Wait too long? You'll need a prescription. Now you NOSE. No Q-tips. 🚫 #SwimmersEar #EarInfection #ENT #SnotDoc #EarHealth

Was suggestion four to put vinegar drops in as maintenance after swimming 2-3x / week? Or a different type of drop? Thank you!

I have the “wet” ears. I have had it chronically for years. I have but Flonase on a q tip and lightly put it in my ear. It has solved the problem for up to two weeks. Is that ok?
