Last year I was constantly troubled with ear pain.Every 2 or 3 months I used to get it due to regular swimming and within few days I'm starting again.After consulting continuously for 3-4 month's with reputed  doctors one of them suggested that infection is due to the water getting logged in side so to dry,clean my ear use any hand-wash containing alcohol right after the pool when going for bath.So how safe is it to use alcohol containing hand wash for ears is there any other way to dry the ears? I would be continuing it for almost a year and when swimming I have a specially moulded ear plugs for my ear even then I'm being infected
