A member asked:
Do i have a ear infection if i have swimmers' ear?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See physician: Swimmer's ear is usually a bacterial infection of the skin of the ear canal. It is usually painful and is treated with antibiotic ear drops and cleaning of the ear canal. Early treatment is easier than when the ear canal skin is swollen.
