They have over the counter stuff you can buy called something like swimmers ear or by other names, it is basically alcohol i think, it's to dry up the water in the ear. Many kids get swimmers ear when in the summer. Don't use alcohol though, i'm not sure that is what is in it, but by the otc med for his ear.
