Understanding Swimmer’s Ear
Swimmer’s ear (otitis externa) is an infection or inflammation of the outer ear canal, frequently after water has been trapped in the ear.
How Swimmer’s Ear Feels
- Discharge
- A blocked feeling
- Muffled hearing
- Ear pain that is worse when you touch or pull the ear
- Itching inside the ear
What Can Cause Swimmer’s Ear
Water left in the ear after swimming or showering softens the skin of the canal and lets bacteria or fungi grow. Pools, the sea and cotton buds all raise the risk.
Care and Treatment for Swimmer’s Ear
The physician can discuss your symptoms, advise on care and prescribe ear drops where suitable. Since the ear canal requires examining, an in-person check may be advised if it does not improve. Typical choices are antibiotic, antifungal or steroid ear drops, acidifying drops and painkillers.
