Otitis externa is the most common illness/disease of the summer in the coastal area.

It is an infection of the external ear canal and is caused by bacteria and sometimes fungi.

It is very painful, may hurt in the jawbone and while chewing. It is sometimes accompanied by fever.

Treatment

- the ears should be cleaned.
- eardrops and painkillers and occasionally drainage.
- in exceptional cases antibiotics.

How to prevent otitis externa.

- start the summer with clean ear canals.
- in the morning, put a drop of vinegar in each ear.
- at night, dry your ears with a hairdryer (cold air) and
put another drop of vinegar in both ears.

This prevents more than half of the cases of otitis externa. If the vinegar stings, this is a sign of the beginning of otitis.

Otitis externa normally isn’t dangerous and mostly does not need treatment if the water- and atmospheric temperatures are below 25˚C.

Don’t

- put anything in your ears. (cotton wool, ear plugs,
etc.).
- poke your ears with q-tips.
- put oil in your ears.
- go to the chemist for treatment. Go to the
doctor’s.

N.B.
Children with tubes (grommets) in their ears should not swim in the high summer temperatures at the Spanish East coast. The infections they catch, are in general more severe and more difficult to treat.

The treatment of varicose veins in the leg by laser is based on making a map of the venal circulation bearing in mind the insuficient veins, drainage and colateral circulation. Based on the information given by a colour Doppler echograph, an individual treatment plan is created.
Treatment is carried out under a local anaesthetic, with minimal incisions so that the intervention is as comfortable and painless as possible, and is performed as an out-patient.
The procedure is as follows: the patient comes to the clinic, an echograph is taken and specific points are marked with pen on the leg. One or more punctures are made at the various points and a laser fibre is introduced, with control by echograph, to eliminate the vein disorder. Once the treatment is finished, which takes about an hour, the patient is discharged with a compression stocking and can proceed to walk as normal, and with a prescribed medication.
With this type of intervention, recovery is speedy, with most patients returning to normal activity within a day or so. The stocking must be worn for another month or two.
It is possible that there remain marks or hard lumps in the treated areas which will disappear with time and with the use of suitable creams. There may be small burns on the surrounding ski n and alterations to the nerves whicht will improve with local treatment.

Advantages:

1- Out-patient treatment, no hospital stay.
2- Speedy recovery.
