Swimmer’s ear is an infection in the external part of ear or in ear canal. The problem is caused as the excess exposure of the ears to water. After the ear gets drenched the moisture gets in the water resistant layer of the skin and it starts to become soft and wrinkled. Then automatically, bacteria and fungi start to form on the surface of the exposed skin. 
 
Symptoms-It would look itchy, and you'd notice there's very little earwax. It would feel moist and smell clammy from bacteria burrowing and tunneling into the skin.
 
Natural remedies-You can cure the problem with using some simple and useful nature based remedies as they have no side effects. If you have got the infection in your ear and the infection is mild, it can be treated with a few drops of white vinegar placed on the ear. Put just a few drops of vinegar in the ear and leave it in the ear canal for about 5 minutes or so before turning the ear down. This will drain the drops.
 
You can use the hair dryer to evaporate the water molecules in the ear. You should set it to warm and sway it across the ear as it blow dries your ear. The warm air will enable evaporation of any trapped water. You can hold your both nostrils closed and blow through your nose until you hear a pop. This will relieve you from the fullness of the ear.
 
You can heat 2 garlic cloves after removing its skin removed in two spoons of mustard oil till the garlic starts turning black. Sieve it and put 2-3 drops of this oil in the ear. This will provide you relief from the extreme pain. You can take a sock, fill it with salt and put it in the microwave until it is warm and put when it is tolerable to the body. Lay your head on it. This may drain the fluid out.
 
You can use over the counter antiseptic eardrops to get relief from pain. You can also make your own eardrops by mixing equal parts of alcohol and white vinegar. Warm the drops first. Leave them in the ear for a couple of minutes, and then tilt your head to let them drain out.
