Hun you'll still need to put the cream in but have you tried laying on a warm hot water bottle (ear on it sorry) to help with the itching either that or a cold flannel on the ear.

When washing use some cotton wool to block the ear and then smear the outside with water it'll help if you feel dizzy if you get water in it, same goes for the wind.

hth, get well soon

Adult Ear Infection Prevention

Prevention of adult ear infection is simple. Nasal spray flushes out bacteria and pollutants which could cause build up and infection. Even allergens can be washed out. The important element necessary in effective nasal spray is xylitol, which naturally repels bacteria before it has a chance to settle into the nasal tissue.

Chewing gum containing xylitol may also loosen and relieve pressure in the ear while at the same time releasing xylitol into the mouth and throat and preventing bacteria to move up to the nasal passages and into the ear. Studies have proven the use of xylitol-rich gum reduces the risk of ear infection.
