Answer 2

This happens to me quite a lot. I have even had water in my ear for a couple of days. There are a number of solutions out there marketed to swimmers, but they are unnecessarily expensive. Try using hydrogen peroxide... tilt your head to the side, use a cotton swab and squeeze a few drops of hydrogen peroxide into your ear. It will fizz a bit, but that's because it's cleaning out your ear. Then take a towel/paper towel and turn your head right over to the other side so that your ear drains.

I've found that this doesn't work all of the time..... in situations when it doesn't, I find that I can do nothing but wait. Often, the water will come out when you sleep because you are lying on your side for an extended period of time.

When I found that the water was staying in there for a few days, I consulted my doctor, and she told me to wait a few more days to see if it would come out on its own.

Be weary if it stays in too long though, you may get swimmer's ear.... believe me when I tell you this is NOT fun!!

All the best,

Answer 3

lay on your side so the water can drain.

left ear-left side.  If this does not work in about an hour, go to the drug store and speak with a pharmacist.  There are ear drops that will solve the problem.  If you let the water stay in your ear, it could cause an infection.  Act now.  Good luck.

Answer 4

if you have enough time, or if you're tired, then just go to sleep

whenever i have water in my ear, i just go to bed, and since you are on your side for so long when you are sleeping, then it comes out by morning

Answer 5

I know this sounds funny but it works so just try it. My wise Gram told me to hop up and down on one foot while I tilt my head to the side the water is in my ear. Then I tap on the opposite ear. ( She's a nurse)

Answer 7

Use a Q-tip or take a really hot bath. The hot water makes the water come out. If that doesn't work, get some medicine before it becomes an infection.
