Why Did I Have Swimmers Ear In The Other Ear Too?
It started off as swimmers ear , but then it moved to my other ear within two days? My primary gave me drops the first visit for swimmers ear and then when I called him called and told him about the other ear he called in an order of Augmentin. What do you think it could be? Didn t have any water in the second ear.

Hi,
The brief clinical history that you provided is suggestive of an infection of the outer ear canal of both ears. In my opinion your primary has done the right thing by starting a course of an antibiotic. Additionally anti-inflammatory medications could be helpful as well.
Hope this helps.

Dr. Prasad
