What is External Ear Infection ?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

People who enter the ponds to cool off on hot summer days are the external ear infections<\/a> caused by dirty waters. The water escaping from the ear removes the sebaceous glands and protective layer at the entrance of the ear canal<\/a> and makes it open to infections.<\/p>\n
