Ear Infection/Ache.?

Question: I had an ear infection/ache 5 days ago (i was swimming alot at that time). I took tylenol and garlic/mullien ear drops and it seems to be getting better. The swelling has gone down alot and the pain is minimal (but there still is some pain). Should I still go to the doctor?

Answers:
yes, you should see your doctor. When ii had a bad ear infection that i found out it was swimmers ear and i had to get medicine for it and i was in severe pain. I was laying on the ground rolling around crying.

Other Answers:
Go to the pharmacy and ask for "swimmers ear" stuff. I'm not sure what it is called (it may even be Swimmers Ear). At any rate, they will be able to show you where it is. You put a drop or two in each ear as recommended. It worked for our kid when he had that problem. It's pretty common during summer/swimming months.
