How do u get water out of eur ear? [details inside]?

Question

like if u get water in ur ears from like a pool. i know people say to jump up &+ down, tilt ur head, and tap ur head, but that doesnt always work. what to do?

Answer 1

Another way to get water out is to use a tissue and roll it up and place it GENTLY inside your ear. This will then absorb the water without causing damage like using a q-tip

Answer 2

My mom used to make us flush out our ears with Hydrogen Peroxide when we went to the lake...it usually works to get out all the bacteria and water.  Good luck!  That's one of the most annoying feelings in the world!

Answer 3

Roll up some tissue and stick it in you ears..

Answer 4

tilt your head to one side and put a few drops of isopropyl alcohol ( rubbing alcohol ) in it, wait a few seconds and tip that side of your head down. The alcohol evaporates the water instantly.

Answer 5

Just tilt your head!

Answer 6

you just have to wait for it to drain out.  try lying on your side for a while.

Answer 7

You can buy a thing called "Swim Ear." It is a ear dropper (alcohol), that will get the water out of your ear really fast.

Answer 8

some alcohol

Answer 9

take a shower and get more in then it'll come out more easily

Answer 10

try  putting a straw inside and asking someone to suck it out ,   only joking hun , if tiltin ur head and all the other stuff dont work , c a doc.

Answer 11

hang upside down...or shake ur hear reaallllll fast..

Answer 12

first the tilting and shaking does work if u do it right. This may sound stupid and Will make u look half retarded but it works. I use this technique all the time. First stand on one foot with the foot that is on the same side as your ear that has water in it. Next tilt your head to the side of that ear so the ear is facing the ground. Then jump up and down, u should feel like a plug of water moving and if u keep jumping it will come out. Repeat for the other side. If that doesn't work, wait a couple of hours and try it again. If that doesn't work then go get a product that helps, I think one of them is called swimmers ear.
