Ear Pain Explained
Earache can come from the ear canal, the space behind the eardrum or from referred pain in the throat or jaw. Two common holiday causes are swimmer’s ear (otitis externa) and middle-ear infection (otitis media).
Typical Symptoms
- Blocked feeling or muffled hearing
- Aching or sharp pain in or around the ear
- Itching or pain when touching the ear
- Fever, especially in children
Common Triggers
Water left in the ear after swimming, poking with cotton buds, a cold or blocked sinuses and pressure changes on flights are the typical triggers.
Local Tips for Ear Pain in Side
Side combines sandy beaches with ancient ruins and the Temple of Apollo, so sun and walking on stone paths are typical. Hours in the pool and sea are the classic cause of swimmer’s ear. Dry your ears gently after swimming and skip cotton buds.
Travel Guide to Side
Side began as an ancient Greek city on a small peninsula, and after it was abandoned the ruins became known as Eski Adalia, meaning Old Antalya. Tourist tip: walk to the Temple of Apollo at sunset, visit the theatre and the museum, and browse the craft and souvenir shops of the old town. Side is also a handy base for Aspendos and Perge, and its sandy beaches suit swimming and boat trips.
Care and Treatment for Ear Pain
A video visit helps sort out the likely cause, explains what to do and plans treatment such as ear drops or painkillers where suitable. If the ear requires examining with an otoscope, the physician will tell you. Options may include pain relief, ear drops where appropriate and treatment of any related cold or sinus problem.
