Swimmer's ear (otitis externa) is an inflammation or infection of the ear canal, the passage that leads from the outer ear to the eardrum. This condition is called swimmer's ear, because it commonly occurs in people who have been swimming. But other people can get it too.

How is swimmer's ear treated? If your doctor prescribed eardrops, use them as directed. Talk with your doctor before putting anything in your ear. Avoid getting water in the ear until after the problem clears up. Use a hair dryer to carefully dry the ear after you shower.
