BTW i did go swimming today

Answer 1

Use a q-tip, and if you have and it keeps coming back probably means you have ruptured your eardrums and lost pressure in that ear. And the liquid in your ear isn't pool water. So for now, don't put any water in your ear and go see a doctor

Answer 2

I think you might want to try using a q tip, that's what i always use. be gentle though, because it's your ear and you don't want to be deaf, but if a q tip doesn't work, i've heard that alcohol and vinegar works too, but i'm not really sure because i've never tried it. here's a site that i just found...

Answer 3

i used to have this problem all the time when i used to dive competitively

there are ear drop that you can get from most drug stores that help

i found that these work very well

the one i use is called Auro-Dri

Answer 4

Hair dryer?

I know there's some fluid naturally in your ear, but I'm actually just gonna bet that's water and not excaping fluid....Or something.

Anyway, I tried a hairdryer, hot enough to evaporate, but not hot enough to burn my skin.

Answer 5

try this it's what I do and works...stand by your bed and jump onto your bed slamming the side of the head against your pillows.  It pops everytime.  It sounds goofy, but trust me it works. Hope you get it fixed!

Answer 6

tilt ur head to the side that has the water ear and put ur head back straight agian but do it really fast repeadedly

Answer 7

what I always do is tilt my head and jump up and down :p if that doesn't work you could get a thin towel and wrap it around your pinky and stick it in your ear to try to dry out your ear. Usually works for me :D  

Answer 8

I use a tissue or a piece of toilet roll.
