I m just coming off of medication for swimmers ear, but i was told to see a ENT Dr. because of cloudiness in the eardrum I m now having a little bit of vertigo after the full dosage of swimmers ear medication. I did swim again after 10 days off. First question is what is cloudiness in the eardrum mean? Second is the cloudiness caused by swimmers ear or something else? Thanks!
Cloudiness of the ear drum means swelling and congestion of the ear drum and is likely to be due to the swimmers ear. Please do not go for swimming again (at least for 1 week ) and continue putting your ear drops .
Take care!
