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.
Why swimmer’s ear happens
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.
How swimmer’s ear is treated
The doctor talks through your symptoms, advises on care and prescribes ear drops if suitable. As the canal requires examining, an in-person check may be advised if it fails to improve. Options may include antibiotic, antifungal or steroid ear drops, acidifying drops and pain relief.
- Do not use cotton buds or put anything in the ear
- Keep the ear dry until it heals
- Take simple pain relief as directed on the pack
- Dry the outer ear gently with a towel after washing
