Water in the ear. How do you get rid of it.?

Question

The wife had a bath yesterday and still feels as if she has water in her ear. She says it's as if she has went deaf in one ear. Anyone help ??

Answer 1

at the drug store you should be able to find something called "swimmer's ear"...or similar.

the are drops; the pharmacist can help you find something.

Answer 2

It will be crazy but doo this. Put some more water in the same ear and wait for 4-5 seconds, The water you just poured will make contact with the water already there. Turn your head by 180 degress so that all of the water comes out and it will bring out the water from first time too. You will feel the difference immediately.

Answer 3

As a child I use to get ear infections all the time (swimmers ear). The dr told my mom this advise and I still do it to this day. I haven't had another ear problem since then. Put 4-6 drops of rubbing alcohol in the ear and wait till she knows it is really down in there. Then turn your head to the opposite side and let it drain out. If this doesn't work you can repeat it once. The trick is to do this as soon as you feel water in there. The alcohol acts as a drying agent and causes the water to dry out. Good luck.

Answer 4

'Swimmers Ear', I'm pretty sure it is still on the market. Any pharmacy should have it. The doctor had recommended that for me when I was a teen. I was always getting ear infections, and finally was told it was from water in the ears.
Also, when she bathes, after wards use the hair dryer to help dry it out. I hadn't tried that, but someone I knew did.

Answer 5

I would recommend Raja's technique. If there is a lot of water in the ear it will flow out when you turn your head down to that side. A little water, but can stay inside. Just fill up the ear canal gradually with clean mildly warm water and tilt your head. All water will flow out

Answer 6

Lie on the side the ear with the water in is on and stay there, it will eventually come out and man.... it is the best feeling ever. In fact, I might go and put some water in my ear just for the experience!!! Life is full of these small pleasures...

Answer 7

I suffer from this badly, so can't go under water at all or I'll go deaf and then get an ear infection. The way you do it is tip her head so the ear with water in it is down, and then whack hard on the other side of the head (I'd suggest she does this, cos you might hurt her!). It really does work. Failing that, poke her finger inside the watery ear and jiggle it about, cos that works also, but I can't do that, cos that would make my ear infection ten times worse!

Answer 8

when it happens to me i usually tilt my head to the side as if to let the water fall out and then hold my nose, close my mouth and blow, this causes the inside the ear to expand which could dislodge the water and let it run out, alternatively i would just sleep on the side where the water it is...

id avoid poking anything in the ear as this could damage the ear drum and cause deafness...

consult a pharmasist if it doesnt go by tomorrow morning and they can recommend something, this avoids he doctors who will only send you straight to the pharamsist any way

Answer 9

it could be ear wax! thats a pain but you can go to the store and get little ear wax pickers. If it is forsure water, try rubbing alcohol. put a few drops in the ear and then let it sit for about 30 seconds. then tip it over and it should drain out.

Answer 10

mix 1/2 water to 1/2 hydrogen peroxide and drop 3-5 drops in her ear. after two-three applications the problem will go away because the drops will abosrb the water in the ear.

Answer 11

Tilt your head to the side and yawn. You can also move your jaws with your head tilted and massage behind and in front of the ear to facilitate breaking the suction that's holding the water in the ear canal.
