### Patient: Hi doctor, I think I have swimmer's ear. My ear is very itchy and painful.
### Doctor: Alright, I recommend we conduct an interview and evaluation to assess the extent of the infection. We will also consult with an otolaryngologist for an ophthalmologic and otologic diagnosis and treatment. Additionally, we will culture the wound and perform an incision and drainage if necessary. We may also need to remove any foreign objects from your ear using nonoperative means, and further diagnostic procedures on the ear may be required to properly diagnose and treat the infection.
