It ' s just like I said . Feelings can really only tell you how you feel , and loving someone is how you feel . Outside of that they provide no information . If you can feel love , that does prove that you ' re feeling love , but it doesn ' t prove anything else . <| sep |> ever since he hurt his ankle in philly . <| sep |> You probably have what is commonly referred to as swimmer ' s ear . Go see a doctor immediately . It won ' t heal by itself . I ' m no doctor , but after over 50 years of competitive swimming and several ear infections , my understanding is that the cause of the pain is an infection in the outer ear caused by water remaining in the ear after swimming or sometimes bathing or showering . The best way to avoid it happening in the future is to put drops in your ear after every swim practice . You can usually find these drops at a pharmacy . They are cheap and overthecounter i . e . no prescription require . In the U . S . I buy the brand Swim Ear . When that runs out , I fill the bottle with one half rubbing alcohol and one half white vinegar . Then I refill the bottle until it is too old and starts leaking . Then I buy another one . My understanding is that the alcohol and vinegar help dry out the ear canal and return it to its normal PH . I put enough in each ear until I hear it hit my ear drum , then I rotate my head until the stuff drains out .
