About Swimmer’s Ear
Otitis externa, known as swimmer’s ear, is inflammation or infection in the canal leading to the eardrum, often following water in the ear.
Causes and Risk Factors
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.
Typical Symptoms
- Itching inside the ear
- Muffled hearing
- Ear pain that is worse when you touch or pull the ear
- A blocked feeling
- Discharge
Care and Treatment for Swimmer’s Ear
The doctor can discuss your symptoms, advise on care and prescribe ear drops where suitable. Because the ear canal requires examining, an in-person check may be advised if it does not improve. Depending on your case, the doctor may suggest antibiotic, antifungal or steroid ear drops, acidifying drops and pain relief.
- Keep the ear dry until it heals
- Do not use cotton buds or put anything in the ear
- Dry the outer ear gently with a towel after washing
- Take simple pain relief as directed on the pack
