swimming-related ear discharge. What should I do?

Asked by Male, 28 · 2 days ago

Swimming-related ear discharge is usually due to Otitis externa caused by trapped moisture and infection in the ear canal. Keep your ear dry (avoid swimming for a few days), gently dry the outer ear, and use prescribed antibiotic or antifungal ear drops such as Ofloxacin ear drops if advised by a doctor. Do not put oil, water, or cotton buds inside the ear. If discharge is heavy, foul-smelling, or associated with pain or hearing loss, see an ENT specialist for proper cleaning and treatment.
