Earclear Swimmers Ear Treatment Drops is a dual-action formula that treats and prevents the occurrence of Swimmer's Ear. This painful inflammation occurs when water is trapped in the ear canal following swimming, diving, surfing, or showering. The formula contains isopropyl alcohol and acetic acid. The isopropyl alcohol dries up the moisture, while the acetic acid helps prevent the condition by restoring an acid pH, making the skin less susceptible to infection. This solution relieves and treats painful inflammation of Swimmer's Ear, while also helping to prevent the condition by drying up excess water. Use it immediately after swimming, surfing, or any other activity during which the ears are exposed to water. Tilt the head to one side and place 4 to 6 drops in the ear, then keep the head tilted.
