Just thought I would pop in and tell you that this exact thing happened to me last Friday after going for a swim at the local pool after work on Thursday. I went to the GP and he said that I had a minor ear infection and prescribed some drops (no ab's). By Saturday my tooth (wisdom tooth) gum and ear were fine.

I think they are somehow connected to each other and one makes the other flair up.

You can buy the ear drops from the Chemist and they are catogory A, which is fine for pregnancy, ill just run and get the name of them.... 'Auralgan' Ear drops around $13.00.

Good Luck
