The doctor told about the danger of water getting into the ears

Otolaryngologist Polina Vashkevich spoke about the danger of water getting into the ears, and also gave advice on how to avoid it.

In an interview with Radio 1 on Thursday, July 31, the doctor noted that ear diseases are more common in the summer due to water entering the ears during bathing. The doctor explained that moisture creates a favorable environment for bacteria, which can cause inflammation of the ear canal, accompanied by pain, itching and hearing loss. Also, because of the water, the sulfur plug may swell and completely block the passage.

According to Vashkevich, discomfort is not dangerous if there are no serious pathologies, but it is advisable to remove the water immediately by tilting your head, shaking it or gently drying your ear with a hair dryer from a distance of at least 30 cm. As a preventive measure, she recommended using earplugs and bathing caps.
