Top Ear Care Tips for Rainy Season
Here are some practical steps to keep your ears infection-free
•Keep Ears Dry: Always dry your ears gently with a soft towel after exposure to rain or water activities.
•Use Earplugs: If you know you’ll be outdoors during heavy rain or going for a swim, wear waterproof earplugs to prevent water from entering your ears.
•Avoid Using Cotton Buds Excessively: Many people attempt to clean their ears with cotton buds, but this can push dirt and wax deeper or even cause injury to the ear canal. Instead, clean only the outer ear.
•Treat Allergies Promptly: Allergies can cause nasal congestion, which may lead to fluid buildup and ear infections. If you have a cold or allergy symptoms, seek treatment early.
•Avoid Inserting Objects: Never insert pins, hair clips, or other objects into your ear canal. They can cause small cuts, making it easier for infections to develop.
