About 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.
How swimmer’s ear feels
- Itching inside the ear
- Ear pain that is worse when you touch or pull the ear
- A blocked feeling
- Discharge
- Muffled hearing
Causes and risk factors
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 raise the risk.
Orhaniye: local notes for swimmer’s ear
Orhaniye is built for beach days, and the strong sun, salty water and shared buffets behind them explain most of the health problems travellers report. Other places within reach include Selimiye, Bozburun, Kumlubuku. On beach holidays, heat, sun and swimming can aggravate many conditions, so rest, drink water and tell the doctor what you have been doing.
