If your 2 year old is diagnosed with a double ear infection, should they go swimming that same day?

I personally had massive ear infections when I was a child. Absolutely no under the water activities. Put cotton in the ears when you even wash the hair! No more moisture in the ears AT ALL! Ear infections are extremely dangerous if not taken care of. Why didn't you ask your doctor when you saw him? I only have 20% hearing in my left ear from ear infections as a child. Do you want your child to hear? Take care of the situation NOW! Be active in treatment and ear drops. I'm almost deaf in my left ear and have a hard time hearing in my right. All because my parents neglected me to the extreme as a child. Both of my parents had alcohol and gambling issues. I am now fifty years old and can remember my ear doctor, Dr. Phillips, to this day. I sat in the living room one afternoon and felt something running down my neck, I put my hand up and it was all bloody! I had a massive ear infection and it hemorrhaged! I was seven years old! Don't let your child grow up like that OK? Do what any responsible parent would do and "be there and be aware". Its not fun nor funny.

They should stay clear of water in the ears or cold air to the ears untill the infection is treated with antibiotics.

Would not recommend.

i_am_the_dida
NO!! You are taking a huge risk of making the ear infection worse.
I am assuming you didn't ask the doctor while you were there because you didn't want the doctor to give you the "Are you really this stupid?" look.

Was this answer helpful to you?  Yes  /  No



fruitnroo
Absolutely not - Not until the infection is cleared up and all the medicine for it is finished. Then call and ask the doctor if it's safe.

NO way. Let your 2 year old's ear heal first. The water could make things worse. Give it a few days.

the worst thing you can do is to have the ear wet, no moisture please!!!
moisture helps buid up bacterial infections or fungus infections.

No! And when they do go swimming they should be using ear plugs or the wax that molds to their ears.

I wouldn't let the 2 year old go swimming it could really make the ear infection worse. Not trying to tell you what you should and shouldn't do, cause I'd hate to have someone tell me how to parent but I really wouldn't let them go swimming, it could cause severe problems.

im a nurse and have many people ask this question. if they are swimming in a public pool and just started antibiotics less than 24 hours ago then no. they may be contagious. otherwise they may swim as long as you make sure their inner ear does not get wet. my mother always used silly puddy but standard ear plugs work.

No.

Use the medications given for treatment, which usually includes ear drops, and follow the doctor's instructions. Ear infections are common at age 2, but they can cause permanent damage. Pay attention.

You could buy the squishy ear plugs that mold to fit your ears...I constantly had ear infections growing up and had to use them a lot!



By the way, these people w/rude comments should be reported...it wasn't a dumb question...there are solutions to these problems!
