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.
Symptoms of Swimmer’s Ear
- Itching inside the ear
- Muffled hearing
- Ear pain that is worse when you touch or pull the ear
Common Triggers
Moisture trapped after a swim or shower softens the canal lining so germs can grow; swimming pools, the sea and cotton buds raise the chance.
How Swimmer’s Ear Is Treated
The doctor talks through your symptoms, advises on care and prescribes ear drops if suitable. As the canal needs examining, an in-person check may be advised if it fails to improve. Treatment can involve antibiotic, antifungal or steroid ear drops, acidifying drops and painkillers.
