Sweet summertime is here and kids want all the water time they can get⁣

What is Swimmer’s Ear?

⁣It is an infection in the outer ear canal, which runs from your eardrum to the outside of your head ⁣

⁣It happens when water gets trapped in your ear after swimming or in water – your ear creates a moist environment that aids bacterial growth ⁣

⁣It can also happen by putting your fingers, cotton swabs, or other objects into your ear⁣
