Question

i just went to the swimming pool and i got water in my ears.I tried bangin it out but it wont come out...what should i do?

Answer 1

which ever the ear have water lye down on that side and slowly the water comes out it will take a little time but it will work trust me on this i go to the beach and have the same problem.....

Answer 2

First take a deep breath.Ok.Now It's only water.It will come out eventually.It may come out in the bath,shower,or in your sleep.Maybe it'll come out when you are just walking,talking,whatever.It may come out right now or it may already be out.I go to the beach all the time in the summer.Water always gets in my eyes.I just shake my head or do nothing.Now if your eye fells weird something else could be wrong with your eye.Your eye could be infected.You could have pink eye.Maybe you got chlorine in your eyes and now your eyes hurt or are all red.But don't get worried over water.It can't hurt you.Just relax.And say it's only water.After a few days if your eye still feels funny and your eye hurts and are still freaked out talk to your eye doctor or your regular doctor and ask what the problem is.He'll tell you that you have something wrong with your eye.Like pinkeye or you opened your eye under water too much.If he doesn't say that he'll just tell you that the water will come out on it's own.Hope this helps!GOOD LUCK!!!

Source:
To prevent swimmer's ear, wear a swimming cap. After a swim, shake and tilt your head to remove water from the ears. If water remains, use a hair dryer on a low setting or antiseptic ear drops (or alcohol) to dry out the ears.

Answer 4

My daughter says it helps her to plug the other ear while tipping the water ear down and hopping on one foot. I said she just looks interesting.

It helps me to lay on my side with the water on a pillow for a while. I usually fall asleep and when I wake up my ear is fine.

I have also heard about the alcohol thing, but be careful not to push the q-tip in to far.

Good luck. I know how annoying that is.

Answer 5

I agree with mrs. og... Jump up and down on one foot with your head tilted to the side (ear with the water towards the ground.) Then bang the opposite side of your head with your hand. I jus reccomend doing it somewhere not public.

Answer 6

well you cannot really bang on itt..u can try to lay down on the side that the water is in and it SHOULD come out. if nott then you wil prolly just need to waitt for like a day nd it eventually ALWAYS comes outt. i have had the same problem..so try that

Answer 7

Peroxide

Answer 8

yeah, this feels gross but it always works... fill an eyedropper with rubbing alcohol, tilt your head, squeeze it in your ear and let it pop... the water will come gushing out so you might want to keep a paper towel close by. good luck.

Answer 9

They sell alcohol based stuff in the store for swimmers ear. You could wait it out or buy some of that.

Answer 10

It happenned to me also... I went to see the doc and he told me to pinch my nose, close my mouth and try exhaling through my nose... this should unblock your ears. Dont exhale too hard coz it can damage your eardrum. If that doesnt work... go see a doc, he can take it out in no time.

Answer 11

sailors jump up and down on one foot. (the side the water in ear is) and shake the side of the head towards the ground. it looks goofy but i swear by this technique.

danger.
