For the past 8 years I have had ear infection problems. I had
infections in both ears both were cleared up BUT I cant get my right
ear wet the left is OK now. If my right ear gets wet the infection
reoccurs I then need to go back to the specialist to get it cleaned
up.
Has anybody had this problem or know what I can try yo get rid of the
problem.

thanks JK

internal or external??

sounds like external...since getting an ear wet won't cause inner ear
infections unless there is a hole in the ear drum

if external..like after swimming/shower??

try Swimmer's Ear

hawki.....

sounds like chronic otitis media ;

then I have a problem with "water in the ear" makes it worse issue

unless he means "swimming etc makes it worse"...or some such...cuz then
obviously the water can enter thru the nose and be snuffed upwards..

with an intact eardrum....water cannot get behind the eardrum...
