Swimmer's Ear Treatment in Lefkada: What You Need to Know
Swimmer’s ear (external otitis) is a common summer ear infection, especially among travelers who enjoy long hours in the sea or swimming pool. It occurs when water remains trapped in the outer ear canal, creating the perfect environment for bacteria to grow.
Common Symptoms of Swimmer's Ear
Itching or discomfort in the ear
Redness or swelling of the outer ear
Pain when touching the ear
Fluid drainage from the ear
Temporary hearing loss
Children are particularly sensitive to swimmer’s ear due to narrower ear canals and frequent water exposure, but adults can also be affected.
Why Swimmer's Ear Is Common Among Tourists
Tourists often spend extended time swimming and relaxing in warm, humid conditions. This frequent water exposure, combined with limited ear drying and sometimes suboptimal hygiene practices, increases the risk of infection.
