Lucknow, June 15 (Ians) Doctors have warned about the increasing number of ear infections, particularly among children, caused by frequent visits to water parks.
Ear infections, also known as otitis externa or swimmer’s ear, occur when water gets trapped in the ear canal, creating a moist environment that promotes bacterial growth.
Symptoms of this condition include pain, itching, redness and swelling of the ear canal. If left untreated, it can lead to temporary hearing loss.
Medical professionals in the city have noticed a surge in patients seeking treatment for ear infections, coinciding with the rise in water park visits during the summer season.
Children, in particular, are more susceptible due to their smaller ear canals and tendency to spend extended periods in the water.
Otolaryngologist Rajesh Kapoor said that he has witnessed a significant increase in daily cases, emphasising the need for simple preventive measures while enjoying water park attractions.
