What is the treatment for swimmer's ears?
Are there any drops recommended for swimmer's ears.? I often have this problem and end up trying home remedies to treat it.

Swimmer's ear - aka otitis externa - is usually easily treated with a prescription antibiotic drop (often fluoroquinolone-based) by your physician. Acidifying drops may also be helpful.
Mix half and half of alcohol and white vinegar, put 4 drops in each ear when you finish swimming.
Always irrigate ears under shower after swimming (cupping). Ear canals need re-acidification with Acetosol drops. if using ear plugs, clean them with 3% peroxide frequently. May need to see ENT
