Ear infections occur when bacteria or viruses affect the middle ear (otitis media) or the ear canal (otitis externa, also called swimmer's ear). Middle ear infections often follow upper respiratory infections when bacteria travel through the Eustachian tube into the middle ear. Swimmer's ear typically results from moisture remaining in the ear canal after swimming or bathing, creating an environment for bacterial growth. Symptoms include ear pain, pressure, hearing reduction, and sometimes fever or discharge. Prompt treatment is important to prevent hearing damage, spread of infection to surrounding structures, or in severe cases, mastoiditis (infection of the bone behind the ear). Treatment for bacterial infections usually involves antibiotic ear drops or oral antibiotics, pain relievers, and sometimes decongestants for middle ear infections. Swimming and diving should be avoided during treatment, making early intervention particularly important for travelers planning water activities.
