WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW

What is a swimmer's ear?

Swimmer's ear, known as otitis externa, is a condition that occurs when the outer ear canal becomes irritated or infected. It typically occurs when water, often from swimming or bathing, becomes trapped in the ear canal, creating a moist environment for bacterial growth. This can lead to inflammation, pain, and infection.

Common symptoms

Symptoms may include:

Ear pain or tenderness, often worsening when the earlobe is pulled or pressed
Itching or discomfort in the ear canal
Redness and swelling of the outer ear
Drainage of clear, pus-like fluid from the ear
Decreased hearing or a sensation of fullness in the ear
