Pool season is officially here! 🏊‍♂️ Here is how to tell if it's Swimmer’s Ear.
With pool days in full swing across Lockport and Lemont, our team sees a massive spike in ear pain. Swimmer’s ear is an infection in the outer ear canal typically caused by water staying in the ear after swimming, creating a breeding ground for bacteria.
Look out for these 3 unmistakable warning signs:
đź‘‚ Pain when moving the outer ear: If pulling gently on the earlobe causes sharp discomfort, it's likely swimmer's ear.
🧴 Itching and Redness: An early, persistent itch inside the ear canal that quickly turns pink.
đź’§ Clear Fluid or Discharge: Odorless fluid draining from the ear canal as the inflammation builds.
Don't wait out ear pain. Left untreated, it can lead to severe discomfort and temporary hearing blockage. Walk right into Lockport Express Medical—our providers can evaluate the ear canal and prescribe targeted relief drops in minutes.
