After days of swimming, snorkeling and diving, ear pain is common among visitors, and swimmer’s ear treatment is something our Cabo San Lucas walk-in clinic provides often. Prompt care relieves the pain quickly and stops the infection from getting worse.
What Is Swimmer’s Ear?
Swimmer’s ear is an infection of the outer ear canal caused by water trapped after swimming, which creates a moist environment where bacteria thrive. It causes itching, pain that worsens when you tug the ear, redness and sometimes drainage.
It is especially common on beach and pool vacations where you are in the water every day.
How We Treat Ear Infections in Cabo
Our doctors examine the ear, clean it if needed and prescribe medicated ear drops, and sometimes oral medication, to clear the infection. Most patients feel relief within a day or two of starting treatment.
We can see you at the clinic or visit your hotel, so you do not have to suffer through ear pain on vacation.
How to Prevent Swimmer’s Ear
Dry your ears thoroughly after swimming, tilt your head to drain water, and consider using over-the-counter drying drops if you are prone to it.
Avoid inserting cotton swabs, which can irritate the canal and make infection more likely.
