Understanding Swimmer’s Ear
Swimmer’s ear (otitis externa) is an infection or inflammation of the outer ear canal, frequently after water has stayed in the ear.
Common Triggers
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 add to the risk.
Typical Symptoms
- Discharge
- Muffled hearing
- A blocked feeling
- Itching inside the ear
