Swimmer’s ear may sound simple, but the wrong drop can create real safety concerns.

In this episode, TRC Healthcare Assistant Editor and Clinical Pharmacist Gina Corley, PharmD, reviews practical swimmer’s ear treatment considerations for healthcare teams, including how eardrum and ear tube status affect which otic drops are appropriate. She also discusses swimmer’s ear prevention strategies, along with guidance on how to administer ear drops.
