I'm still in doubt but after a quick visit to the doctor here in Gothenburg I learned that I got Swimmer's Ear. I guess I got it while showering last week cause that's when the first slight discomfort started.
Swimmer's Ear means that a little bit of fluid is trapped in the ear canal which enables bacteria to multiply faster and results in an infection. The symptoms are blocked ear, drainage, fever, decreased hearing, intense pain and a swollen outer ear. In layman terms: It feels like someone stuffed a towel in my ear with a baseball bat.
So now I'm on Terracortril with Polymyxin B for the next few weeks. We also decided to cut the trip short not to jeopardize the healing. So good old San Francisco - here we come!
