my dr told me to put a few drops of baby oil in your ear, let it sit for about 30 seconds and let it drain out...this should work....it always has for me

Hop on one foot (the same side as the ear with water) while tilting your head in the same direction... do this for about 30 seconds, or until the water 'releases'.
If this fails... go to the pharmacy and pick up drops for swimmer's ear. It helps dry the ear out and remove any bacteria that may have been stirred up.
Good luck!

Tilt your head to the side so the ear is basically "pointed" toward the floor. Lightly but firmly hit your head above the ear about three times with your hand. Do the same for the other side if you've water in both.

Put a bit more of water, that will stimulate the water that is already in.. wait a while than quickly turn your head over and the water will fall. Taping the other ear (that isn't with water) while your head is tilted will help also.

It's called swimmer's ear. They have OTC medication you can take. Like ear drops. Go to wal-mart or a local pharmacy and ask the clerk and they will direct you. It shouldn't be too expensive.

Pinch your nose with your hand then force yourself to breath out through your nose then this causes the build up of fluid to run out of your ears til it comes out at the back of your throat. Do this several times and swallow with your mouth as you are doing it and in no time you should feel more comfortable.

A little tiny bit of alcohol in your ears will help sometimes...

The jaw bones connected to the ear bone?
