What is 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.
Typical symptoms
- A blocked feeling
- Ear pain that is worse when you touch or pull the ear
- Muffled hearing
- Itching inside the ear
- Discharge
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.
