The summer months are the holiday season, a time when everyone enjoys the warm weather, while swimming is one of our favorite physical activities. Excessive moisture in the ear canal, in combination with the small scratches on the skin of the ear canal which we cause with cleaners, create perfect conditions for its inflammation. Before you go on vacation, do a checkup with your otorhinolaryngologist. He will check the condition of your ears, and give you practical advice on how to protect them from possible infections that could complicate your vacation.
Symptoms At first, the inflammation manifests itself with itching of the ear, with swelling, and then with the sensation of ear blockage. Then there is a pounding Seychelles Email List pain in the ear, especially when pressing on the first and last part of the 'shell' of the ear (the outer and visible part of the ear). The ear can become red and swollen, sometimes there is a discharge in the ear, in severe cases fever and fever can appear. Preventing To prevent inflammation in the ear canal, it is necessary to be careful at some points. After swimming, the outside of the ear should be wiped and dried with a soft cotton cloth. If the ear canal remains full of water, tilt your head to the side so that the remaining water in the ear can drain.
The ears can also be dried with a hair dryer, but with a low speed and keeping it at least 30cm away from the ear. Do not try to clean your ears with cotton buds or ear pins, etc. Injuries caused to the ear due to their use help spread the infection. A good choice can be the use of silicone ear plugs, which protect the ear from moisture, especially for those people who have previously had inflammation in the ear canal. Treatment The treatment of inflammation in the auditory canal depends mainly on the intensity of the pain and the severity of the symptoms. In most cases, antibiotic drops in combination with corticosteroids are sufficient. The drops are applied several times a day, for 7-10 days. If you experience severe pain or fever, it is best to seek medical help.
