June 23, 2006, Newsletter Issue #164: Swimmer´s Ear

Tip of the Week

This common ear infection can occur because the outer ear canal has a tiny scratch in it from a fingernail, cotton swab, etc. Frequent swimming can cause a bacterial infection and the ear will become itchy, sore, swollen inside and may leak fluid. Treatments usually include antibiotic ear drops, and no swimming until symptoms disappear.
