DIY Swim Ear

My 10 year old stepdaughter, Julia, is prone to swimmer's ear.  Two summers ago, her pediatrician told us to make our own solution to use after she swims.  It's way less expensive than Swim Ear drops, and is simple to make.

Mix equal parts of alcohol and vinegar.  Alcohol dries any water that is in the ears.  Vinegar restores the normal pH of the ears.  I bought a dropper bottle from the health food store to put the mixture in.  I put about 1/2 a dropper full per ear, then turn head to the other side for it to drain out.  Repeat on other side.
