Pain, itching or fullness after swimming? Our ENT specialists treat swimmer’s ear (otitis externa) quickly and safely, and help you prevent it coming back.
Swimmer’s ear, or otitis externa, develops when water gets trapped in the ear canal, creating a moist environment where bacteria can thrive. Standard treatment involves ear drops, but timely medical attention is important for more serious infections.
It can also be triggered when the ear canal’s natural defences are disturbed — for example by cotton swabs or objects in the ear. Get treated by Dr. Gouda Ramesh, swimmer’s ear specialist at the best ENT clinic in Kukatpally.
Book a ConsultationIf you notice one or more of these symptoms, it is worth getting your ears checked by an ENT specialist.
Knowing the cause helps us choose the safest, most effective treatment for you.
The most common treatment for swimmer’s ear is antibiotic ear drops, often combined with a steroid to reduce swelling. If the infection worsens, oral antibiotics may be added, and antifungal medication is used if a fungus is involved.
With prompt treatment, swimmer’s ear usually clears within about a week. Keeping the ear clean and dry during recovery helps healing and lowers the chance of it returning.
