Home Remedy for Swimmer's Ear

Pain in or around the ear can be a sign of a bacterial infection referred to as Swimmer's Ear. It is often caused by frequent occurrences of moisture in the ear, a scratch in the ear that allows bacteria into the skin, and/or bathing in a polluted area.

When infection occurs it is often accompanied by pain, itching, swelling, possibly drainage of pus, and/or difficulty hearing. Treatment may include cleaning the ear (by a health professional), oral and/or topical medications, and keeping water out of the ear until the infection has healed.
