JAG10 Posted August 2, 2011 Report Posted August 2, 2011 Not really PANDAS related, but....... should you be able to get swimmer's ear while taking daily zith 250mg? It never fails, the weekend after the in-laws visit, i.e. lots of toddlers in the pool, someone in my family get swimmer's ear. DH promised it was well clorinated, but my dd8 is complaining of ear pain.

JAG10 Posted August 2, 2011 Author Report Posted August 2, 2011 Hmmm. She did complain of a headache yesterday, but I attributed that to the heat (+97). THis morning, she complained of left ear pain, especially when she pulled on the lobe, which sounds like swimmer's ear to me. The girls have an appt with their new ped this friday, but I can't have her wait that long, so I'm going to take her to one of those Take Care clinics this afternoon. I guess it is a skin infection that the oral abx doesn't fight?

Kayanne Posted August 2, 2011 Report Posted August 2, 2011 My MIL was told years ago to make ear drops from equal parts of vinegar, alcohol, and water--then add a couple drops to each ear after they swim. It readjusts the ph of the outer ear canal. Swimmers ear stopped being a problem after she started that. But this is just a preventative measure, I don't think it will make a lot of difference with an active infection. Good Luck, I hope your daughter feels better soon.
