I have put swimmer's ear in his ears, sometimes it helps sometime it doesn't. It has not made him feel or act sick. Still eating and playing.

Also if he swims under water a lot, his head will have got cold - just get him to towel his hair dry rather than shake his head. I think most of us would get a headache if we shook our heads - try it! It's your poor brain bashing against your skull.

More then likely tell him to shake his head gently but firmly to get the water out. And give him some aspirin for the headache and try to get him to drink some water if he was in the water to long he can be dehydrated.

As of what I know kids shouldn't be taking aspirin. Shaking head too much will cause headaches.

My husband is a high school swim coach as well as a Master swimmer, I also have 3 kids who are swimmers... I was told in order to release the water from his ear, he should just lean his head over on his shoulder, first one side then the other, let the water flow out, DONT shake as this is putting pressure on your neck, which could cause tension headaches, IF he is feeling pressure in his ear (a fullness) put a few drops of rubbing alcohol in ear to dry out the ear. hope this helps
