Centennial Beach summers and ear trouble

Days at Centennial Beach or along the Riverwalk can end with sore ears. The CDC explains that swimmer's ear is an infection of the outer ear canal, different from a middle ear infection behind the eardrum. HealthyChildren.org says swimmer's ear often starts with itchiness or a plugged feeling and then hurts when the ear is pulled or pushed, or when your child chews.
A clinician may clean the canal and prescribe ear drops, often for five to seven days, and your child may need to stay out of the water for a few days. Keep cotton swabs out of the ear. For kids who get it often, HealthyChildren.org suggests limiting time in the water and drying the ears afterward.
