Online Swimmer’s Ear Treatment

Care for Swimmer’s Ear

Swimmer’s ear is an infection of the outer ear canal, often caused by water that stays in the ear after swimming or bathing. It can cause itching, pain, and sometimes drainage, and it usually responds well to treatment.

During a virtual visit, a licensed provider can review your symptoms and history and, when appropriate, prescribe ear drops and recommend ways to relieve pain and keep the ear dry while it heals.

How Treatment Works

Swimmer’s ear is commonly treated with prescription ear drops and steps to keep the ear dry while it heals. Your provider will recommend a plan based on your symptoms and advise an in-person exam if the diagnosis is unclear or symptoms are severe.

Your visit is a flat $39 — a transparent, cash-pay rate with no insurance required.

When Telehealth Is a Good Fit

• Itching, pain, or drainage in the outer ear after water exposure
• Symptoms consistent with swimmer’s ear
• Wanting prompt treatment from home

When to seek in-person care: Seek in-person care for severe pain, significant swelling, fever, spreading redness around the ear, or symptoms in someone with diabetes or a weakened immune system, which can need closer evaluation.
