At first, a splash, a carefree dive,
Yet soon, discomfort begins to arrive.
Indeed, the water lingered there,
Thus fostering germs without a care.
Next comes the pain, sharp and severe,
When tugged or pressed, it’s crystal clear.
Moreover, itching finds its place,
Redness and swelling soon embrace.
Meanwhile, a muffled sound appears,
Accompanied by tender fears.
Furthermore, fluids start to drain,
A symptom hard for one to feign.
Because of moisture trapped inside,
Bacteria and fungi thrive and bide.
Additionally, trauma might provoke,
When cotton swabs the skin have broke.
Likewise, allergens can play their part,
Hearing aids or earrings may impart.
However, prevention holds the key,
To keep your ears infection-free.
Thus, earplugs help to block the splash,
And drying drops can clear the cache.
Moreover, avoid the cotton swab’s twist,
For pushing debris should not exist.
When symptoms strike, seek treatment fast,
For ignoring it can make it last.
Doctors clean and medicate the ear,
With steroids or drops to help it clear.
Therefore, heed this tale of caution well,
And let prevention cast its spell.
In conclusion, care will guard your ear,
From the woes of swimmer’s ear we fear.
