Swim-Ear is a product to help dry water trapped in ears after swimming, diving etc. It helps to prevent ear infections through removing excess water so bacteria can't breed effectively. It isn't intended to be used as a treatment or anything, just a preventative measure.
There are restriction on its use if you've got ear infections, perforated ear drum etc and you should consult your doctor in which case. This is what the product label says (hope you can read it!):
Its fine for children to use.

- they gave him anti - biotics and for a while it was touch and go if they would let us fly home
Daughter hasn't complained of any pain for a good few days now, but she gets funny whistly noises in that ear now and again. She's never had a problem like this before and always spends most of the holiday in the pool. We'll see how she goes and hopefully just put it down to 'one of those things'; I've considered giving her those swimming ear plugs next year, but my little Vicky Pollard won't wear them
