While it is beautiful when you come from freezing weather to Puerto Vallarta, such changes also come with some health risks.
Today, let's introduce the ear occlusions. With this beautiful "vallartense weather," you are at risk of such ear occlusion. Usually, you arrive here and immediately go to the ocean and/or swimming pools and spend many hours there. This can often cause an earwax expansion and, as a result, an external ear channel occlusion. This is a very annoying sensation and a conductive hearing decline. Then, what can I do? Well, it is highly recommended that you go to the physician.
Why is it not a good idea to clean such earwax by myself? Well, here are some facts that can cause such self-cleaning. First, if you use q tips, such earwax would move deeper into the ear channel, worsening the hearing problem. You may scratch the delicate membrane and skin of the external channel and introduce some bacteria, resulting in a nasty infection.
Also, please remember what water you use for a water-pressure cleaning. If the water has contaminated bacteria or parasites, you directly introduce them into your ear channel. If you use too much pressure, there is a high risk of damage to the eardrum, affecting the middle ear, which can cause dangerous lesions. In this aspect, be aware of which fluid you use because using alkalinized or acidic liquids may also lessen the eardrum.
Finally, these weather changes and the sea and swimming pool swim may lead to an external ear infection, which is very painful.
So, if you feel your ear occluded and feel an uncomfortable or painful sensation, please go immediately to your doctor; they are prepared to give you adequate management.
