can anyone help me please,please

Answer 1

If it doesn't eventually go away I usually smack my ear with water in it on the water. Whether its a sink full of water, a tub, or a pool itself, whatever you have available. Those things usually do work, but after a day or two it willl usually just go away.

Answer 2

Gently rinse the ear using a bulb syringe and warm saline solution or a half-and-half solution of white vinegar and warm water. Make sure the flushing solution is body temperature. Inserting cool or hot fluids in the ear may cause dizziness.

Avoid getting any more water in your ear until the irritation clears up. Cotton coated with petroleum jelly can be used as an earplug. Removable earplugs may be used to keep moisture out of the ear canal. But prolonged use of earplugs can make your ears hurt and itch, and the earplugs can push earwax deeper into the canal. If this happens, your ears are more likely to get infected.

If your ear is itchy, try nonprescription swimmer's eardrops, such as Star-Otic or Swim-Ear. Use them before and after swimming or getting your ears wet.

oh i hate that. i usally lay on the couch with the ear with water in it on the pillow and wait and watch tv. Or when you sleep try to put the ear with water in it on the pillow too.

Answer 4

Tilt your head with the clogged ear facing up and put those ear drops in, and stay that way for a minute or two.  Then tilt your head the other way and leave it for another minute to let the ear drain out.

Answer 5

haha! i used to get that all the time . what i find that works the best and fastest for me is you tilt ur head to the side(the said that was watter in it ) and then jump up and down . im not lieing it works all the time! it can be done in the water too but that just looks sillyer . i wont lie i got laughed at but im the one laughing when they all have water in their ears! lol SUCKERS!

BUT really it works :D

Answer 6

lean your hed to the side where you have the water in your ear. it'll come out in a few minutes. don't put your finger in, that won't work.
