Otitis externa, also known as swimmer's ear, is an infection or inflammation of the ear canal. Otitis externa is often caused by water remaining in the ear after swimming or bathing, which can create a moist environment that promotes bacterial or fungal growth. Treatment for otitis externa may include medications like antibiotics or antifungal drugs, as well as ear drops or other topical treatments. It's important to work closely with a qualified healthcare professional to determine the underlying cause of otitis externa and to develop an appropriate treatment plan.
