A Monthly Pediatric Video Series Just for You: Swimmer’s Ear
Swimmer’s ear is an infection of the outer ear canal—the passage that runs from the outer ear to the eardrum. It gets its name because water that remains in the ear after swimming can create a moist environment where bacteria thrive. However, swimming isn’t the only cause. Any damage to the ear canal—such as from scratching, using cotton swabs, or inserting earplugs—can also allow bacteria to enter and cause infection. Additionally, while earwax normally protects the ear canal, excessive buildup can trap moisture and bacteria, increasing the risk of swimmer’s ear.
