Abstract
Otitis externa seen in general practice is most commonly bacterial in origin and is readily diagnosed and treated if a few simple guidelines are followed. These guidelines are discussed with emphasis on distinguishing the condition from otitis media, performing adequate ear toilet and choosing appropriate topical medications and vehicles for their application.
