BEWARE OF EARS ON SUMMER SEASON HOLIDAY
“These days, especially external ear infections are common,” said Turkey Medicals, who noted that there is a significant increase in ear diseases complaints coming in with the sea and pool season in Antalya Turkey.
In summer, due to frequent access to the Mediterranean Sea and pool, the humid environment that develops in the external ear canal can prepare the ground for infections. ”The fact that the cleaning of the pools is not done enough and people over capacity enter the pool also facilitates the development of infection,” said Turkey Medicals patient desk, and explains what needs to be known about this as follows:
.
HERE ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT SYMPTOMS
Ear pain is usually caused when the auricle is moved forward or pressed against the cartilage at the entrance to the external ear canal. As the infection progresses, the outer ear canal may completely close, a feeling of obstruction in the ear, or even hearing loss may occur.

WHAT ARE THE TREATMENT METHODS IN TURKEY?
In the treatment of the disease, the canal is cleaned by our Turkish doctor, antibiotic drops, edema relieving drops, painkillers and anti-inflammatory drugs and antibiotic pills are used when necessary. If the external ear canal is closed due to edema, a wick may be temporarily placed in the ear so that the drops can act. It is necessary to decongest to enter the sea and pool for a while, and to protect the ear from the water with Vaseline cotton when bathing.
Another common infection in summer is fungi of the external ear canal. The fungus in question can cause itching and congestion in the ears. The diagnosis is made by examination of an an otolaryngologist ENT specialist doctor, and the treatment of the fungus can be performed by protecting the ear from water, cleaning the canal of the doctor, and using some drops. In the meantime, apart from fungus, eczema can cause ear itching.decongestant.

POOL HYGIENE IS VERY IMPORTANT
Even the cleanest pool is not as easy to be hygienic as a clean sea. Ensuring the hygiene of Turkish house / villa and apartment complex communal pools to prevent a number of infections, including ear infections it is very important.
Ear sticks can cause damage to the outer ear canal, followed by inflammation in the canal. After bathing, drying the outside of the ear with a towel, then drying the inside of the ear for 10 seconds from a distance that will not burn the ear with a hair dryer is safe and sufficient to eliminate moisture in the ear.
External ear infections can be progressive and lead to more serious problems, especially if the disease is not under control in diabetic patients. For this reason, these patients in Turkey should be diagnosed very early and appropriate treatment should be started immediately.
“Medications used with the advice of a friend without any examination at hospital may be inconvenient when there is congestion, itching or pain in the ear. For example, a fungus in the ear can progress further with the wrong treatment. For this reason, if you have problems with the ear, first consult a specialist doctor in Turkey hospital, to arrange the most appropriate treatment with the correct diagnosis will be a healthier approach.” was said.
