Swimmer's Ear treatment in Ciudad de México

The otolaryngologist is the specialist who treats swimmer's ear, an infection of the external ear canal known in medical terms as otitis externa. It is usually related to moisture that remains in the ear, common after swimming or bathing.

Frequent symptoms:

• Ear pain that increases when it is touched.
• Itching and redness of the ear canal.
• A feeling of a plugged ear or discharge.

When to see a doctor? It is advisable to seek care if the pain is severe, there is discharge, or the discomfort does not subside. The general practitioner can provide the first evaluation. Having the ear checked by a professional makes it possible to clarify the cause and determine the most appropriate care.
