You can use alcohol...... but you can also buy some stuff at the store that is specially made for swimmers ear.. Put 2-3 drops in her ear(s).. Another thing you can do is take her to the doctor.. The doctor will probably prescribe some special ear drops that will help heal it faster..Health Question & Answer
