how do you remove fluid build up in an ear?

Question

earache for a couple days
I can feel and hear fluid in the ear area

Answer 1

Try some decongestant tablets.
But the vessels that serve the Ears R V small so it's a hit or miss, sort of cure.
Might help, might not.
U tried a bowl of Hot water, few drops of Menthol?
Breathe it in 4 a while C if that helps.

Answer 2

You may have an ear infection (otitis media), especially if you have significant pain and/or a fever, but you may just have an effusion, which is fluid behind the ear drum...this happens often to people with allergies or regular head colds. If a couple doses of sudafed doesn't work to decrease that sensation of fluid in the ear, then see your doctor to make sure you don't have an infection. Most ear infections are actually viral, so you may not need antibiotics.

Answer 3

If its just water, the swimmers ear will work. But if the fluid is from an infection, a doctor will have to help you. I had fluid in my ear that was from an infection that was actually caused by my ears being too dry and I kept putting drying agents in it because I mistook infection for water.

Answer 4

There is a product on the market called Swimmers Ear. Just a few drops in your ear will dry it right up.

If that doesn't work then you need to consult a doctor.

Answer 5

Go to the doctor. it's the only way. The wax treatments aren't safe.

If you have water in it from swimming, a few drops of rubbing alcohol might dry it up.

Answer 6

I am guessing (I am a physician) that you probably have Otitis Media....you can try gently rinsing your ear with hydrogen peroxide several times a day but my suggestion is a visit to your physician.
