Patient Question
Hello Doctor,
Is it necessary to see a doctor for swimmer's ear, or will it go away on its own?
Answered by Dr. Vidit Rohit Shah
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
It is advisable to see an ENT surgeon for swimmer's ear, especially if symptoms persist or worsen. Additionally, maintaining ear hygiene by keeping the ear dry after swimming and using protective measures, such as earplugs, during swimming activities, can help prevent the recurrence of swimmer's ear and alleviate discomfort.
Thanks
