Why Ear Pain is Common in Khaolak
Khaolak’s water activities make ear infections incredibly common. Swimming in the ocean or pool, diving near the Similan Islands, and trapped water in the ear canal create perfect conditions for painful infections. Combine this with airplane travel and you have multiple reasons tourists and locals experience ear problems.
Ear pain can range from mild discomfort to severe, throbbing agony that prevents sleep. Our clinic specializes in diagnosing the exact cause and providing immediate relief so you don’t have to suffer.
Common Ear Problems We Treat
We diagnose and treat various ear conditions:
- Swimmer’s ear (otitis externa) – Infection of the outer ear canal from trapped water
- Middle ear infections – Bacterial or viral infections behind the eardrum
- Ear barotrauma – Pressure injuries from diving or flying
- Earwax blockage – Impacted wax causing pain, fullness, or hearing loss
- Foreign objects in ear – Insects, sand, or debris stuck in ear canal
- Eustachian tube dysfunction – Pressure imbalance and muffled hearing
- Perforated eardrum – From infection, trauma, or pressure changes

Frequently Asked Questions About Ear Pain
How do I know if I have swimmer’s ear?
Swimmer’s ear typically causes pain when you tug on your outer ear or push on the small bump in front of your ear. Other symptoms include itching in the ear canal, drainage of clear fluid, feeling of fullness, and muffled hearing. The pain often worsens when lying down and may become severe within 24-48 hours. If you’ve been swimming or diving and develop these symptoms, it’s likely swimmer’s ear requiring medical treatment.
Can I still dive or swim with ear pain?
No, you should avoid diving or swimming with ear pain or infection. Continuing water activities can worsen the infection, spread bacteria deeper, or cause serious complications like perforated eardrum. For swimmer’s ear, wait until treatment is complete and pain is gone – usually 7-10 days. For diving-related barotrauma, our doctors will advise when it’s safe to dive again based on your healing progress. Returning to water too soon risks permanent ear damage.
What should I do if water gets trapped in my ear?
For immediate relief, tilt your head to the side and gently pull your earlobe to straighten the ear canal, allowing water to drain. Try the “gravity” method: lie on your side with the affected ear facing down. You can also try hopping on one foot or using a blow dryer on low heat from a distance. Never use cotton swabs, fingers, or objects to remove water – this pushes it deeper and damages the canal. If water remains trapped after 24 hours or causes pain, see our doctors for safe professional removal.
