Description

I went to Seal Beach Saturday and in the water. Sunday my ear began to severely hurt I went to the clinic was told I have swimmers ear. By Wednesday none of the medicine they gave me was working I was having a fever on and off. I found an ENT doctor who saw me and told that the swelling was so bad in my ear that my ear canal closed up. I now have a wick in my ear and severe pain still. Thinking of going to the ER. I will never go to the beach again in Socal!!!! I'm in so much pain
