Extreme swimmer’s ear?

Question

Without fail, every time I swim I get an ear infection. It doesn’t matter if it’s a well maintained pool, a clean bath or a lake. If my head goes underwater once both ears will hurt for days to weeks, I use ear drops like they keep me alive in the summer. I don’t know how I can prevent this while still going in water or why it even happens

Answer 1

check with a doctor

Answer 2

There’s ear plugs you can buy that are made to be used while swimming, have you tried using something like that?

Answer 3

that sucks, bad immune system maybe? not a doctor tho.

  I don’t think it has anything to do with it though. My immune system does suck (I get sick every 2-3 weeks if I’m in public semi often) but who knows. Everything just suggests I have an extremely narrow ear canal like a kid, but even then.. an infection every time
