Ear infection

[Nicholas]

I have had an ear infection for the past day. I've taken some medication and I've seen a doctor (Yesterday morning). I've had diffuculty eating and sleeping and I have not slept or ate much. I woke up at about 1:15am and the pain was intense so I went to see someone at the hospital and I've just got home. I do a lot of swimming and I've been told not to swim or get my ear close to water for a week. Is there anything else I should avoid to help myself recover from the ear infection?

Nicholas:
Your doc should have given you some ear drops. Usually you put a couple drops in once per day for a couple of weeks to stop the infection (don't let dropper touch the side of your ear (contaminates it).
