Ear Infection in Ocean City

13:21 Aug 20 2012 Ocean City, MD, USA

Description

Developed an ear infection after swimming in the ocean at Ocean City, MD. Having been on swim team for more than ten years, I am familiar with the fun that can come from getting water in your ear. However, this situation was very different. I had a consistent ear ache that persisted for several days.
