Swimmer’s ear is an infection in the outer ear canal, the area that runs from your eardrum to the outside of your head. For those of you who are interested, its official term is otitis externa. It’s often brought on by water that remains in your ear which then creates a moist environment for long enough to aid the growth of bacteria, which leads to an infection.
It is normally a result of bacteria, very rarely it can be brought on due to fungus or a virus. We’ll be looking at how to avoid swimmer’s ear and in the worst case, if you do end up with symptoms, how best to treat them.
