/what-we-treat/ear-problems/swimmers-ear CCC what-we-treat CCC ear-problems CCC swimmers-ear ** ** ## What is swimmer's ear? Commonly known as ‘swimmer’s ear,’ otitis externa is an ear infection caused by an inflammation confined to the outer ear and ear canal. The condition’s nickname relates to one of the most common causes, which is constant exposure to water – hence why swimmers and children are most vulnerable to getting it. However, otitis externa can affect practically anyone. Our GPs are able to see you the same day any symptoms develop and provide you with a prescription to begin your recovery. ** ** ## Otitis externa symptoms Symptoms of Otitis Externa include: - Severe pain in the ear - Pus leaking from the ear - Temporary loss of hearing - Itching inside the ear If you are suffering from any of the symptoms above, medication will usually be required. Our GPs can write you a prescription, and you can usually pick up your medication from a local pharmacy the same day. Although uncommon, if left untreated, otitis externa can cause growths, a narrowing of the ear canal or even a tear in your ear drum. It’s important to make sure you see a doctor before these develop. We can ensure this through a prescription medication from one of our GPs. ** ** ## Otitis externa causes The causes of otitis externa are commonly due to bacteria in the ear. This can be caused by: - Allergies (e.g. shampoo, medication) - Seborrhoeic dermatitis – greasy areas of skin may become irritated, sometimes affecting the ears - Irritation (e.g. ear plugs) Contact with water and scratching the skin inside your ear can accelerate the development of otitis externa as they provide a fertile environment for the growth of bacteria. ** ** ## Otitis externa treatment As mentioned, otitis externa is treated by a course of antibiotics and although it's not a particularly dangerous condition, it's painful and uncomfortable. If it’s left to develop, your hearing may be further damaged and will require a longer course of stronger antibiotics. Within a few days of starting your treatment, the symptoms should have cleared up. If you are suffering from any of the above symptoms, the sooner you see one of our doctors, the sooner you can begin your recovery. ** ** ## Otitis externa prevention In order to prevent the onset of Otitis Externa, it’s important not to disrupt your ear canal in any way - this includes inserting anything, from your fingers to cotton buds - into your ear. If you are a swimmer, it is important to wear ear plugs and a swimming cap to ensure your ears are fully protected. Even when having a shower or bath, it’s vital not to allow water or shampoo to get into your ear as this may damage the internal sensitive skin. ### **NHS - trained and registered doctors Every one of our doctors is registered with the General Medical Council and can be found on the NHS National Performers List, so you know you are only ever receiving the best possible care and advice.

Once your consultation is complete, our team will search for the closest pharmacy to you which has your medication available. We'll then send you a text when your prescription is ready to collect. To collect your medication, simply hear to the nominated pharmacy to collect and pay for your prescription. You will need to take a valid form of ID to show the pharmacist when you arrive. This process is almost always done within the same day of your consultation. ![close button](https://www.pushdoctor.co.uk/hubfs/SVGs/close-black.svg) ### **Instant fit (sick) notes Our GPs can send a sick/fit note directly to you if necessary following an online consultation. These can be sent directly by email or first-class post. Fit notes include recommendations about how and when you'll be able to return to work or education, or whether you're able to return to work with amended duties (e.g no heavy lifting or reduced hours). They can also contain detailed advice about managing your medical issue in the workplace. ![close button](https://www.pushdoctor.co.uk/hubfs/SVGs/close-black.svg) ```json { "@context" : "http://schema.org", "@type" : "MedicalCondition", "alternateName" : "SWIMMER'S EAR", "code" : { "@type" : "MedicalCode", "code" : "H60.339", "codingSystem" : "ICD-10-CM" }, "differentialDiagnosis" : { "@type" : "DDxElement", "diagnosis" : { "@type" : "MedicalCondition", "name" : "SWIMMER'S EAR" }, "distinguishingSign" : [ { "@type" : "MedicalSymptom", "name" : "Commonly known as ‘swimmer’s ear,’ otitis externa is an ear infection caused by an inflammation confined to the outer ear and ear canal." } ] }, "name" : "SWIMMER'S EAR", "possibleTreatment" : [ { "@type" : "MedicalTherapy", "name" : "antibiotics" } ], "signOrSymptom" : [ { "@type" : "MedicalSymptom", "name" : "Severe pain in the ear" }, { "@type" : "MedicalSymptom", "name" : "Pus leaking from the ear" }, { "@type" : "MedicalSymptom", "name" : "Temporary loss of hearing" }, { "@type" : "MedicalSymptom", "name" : "Itching inside the ear" } ] } ``` ```json { "@context" : "http://schema.org", "@type" : "WebPage", "description" : "Get treated for Swimmer’s ear from a qualified UK doctor quickly and easily via secure video link-up today, with Push Doctor the online GP.", "name" : "Swimmer’s ear ( Otitis Externa ) Symptoms & Treatment | Push Doctor", "publisher" : { "@type" : "Corporation", "name" : "Push Doctor" } } ```
