Why Swimmer’s Ear Happens
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.
Signs of Swimmer’s Ear to Look for
- Discharge
- Muffled hearing
- A blocked feeling
- Itching inside the ear
- Ear pain that is worse when you touch or pull the ear
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.
Prevention Tips
Dry your ears gently after swimming, avoid cotton buds, use earplugs or a swim cap and avoid swimming in poorly maintained water.
Care and Treatment for Swimmer’s Ear
The doctor talks through your symptoms, advises on care and prescribes ear drops if suitable. As the canal requires examining, an in-person check may be advised if it fails to improve. Depending on your case, the physician may suggest antibiotic, antifungal or steroid ear drops, acidifying drops and painkillers.
- Do not use cotton buds or put anything in the ear
- Take simple pain relief as directed on the pack
- Dry the outer ear gently with a towel after washing
- Keep the ear dry until it heals
