Community pool days and swimmer's ear
The village runs the Hinsdale Community Pool, and long summer afternoons in the water can lead to swimmer's ear. HealthyChildren.org describes an itchy or plugged feeling at first, then pain that gets worse when you push on the ear opening, pull up on the ear or when your child chews.
Swimmer's ear affects the outer canal, not the middle ear, so any muffled hearing is usually temporary
A clinician may clean the ear canal and prescribe ear drops, often for five to seven days
Your child may need to stay out of the water for a few days during treatment
Do not put cotton swabs or other objects in the ear
For kids who get it often, limit time in the water and dry the ears afterward
