either put a little peroxide in your ear or rubbing alchol let it sit in there for a few minutes and tilt your head so it drains out or lay on a hot towel for a little while
the rubbing alcohol will dry up the fluid, it works

I get this all the time and I know there are going to be people out there that say no don't do this but this is the only thing that helps if you don't want to go to the doc, take peroxide and drop about 3 or 4 drops into your ear lay with the ear up (so the peroxide doesn't come out) lay there for a few minutes and let it dry the fluid out in your ear then do it to the next ear. it's kinda weird but I know it helps, it happens to me all the time. good luck sweetie.

I have what is called Cronic Eustatchian Disfunction, my ears dont drain properly, thus every time I get a sinus infection I get an inner ear infection. if this happens to you every cold/flu season, make an appointment with an ENT (Ear, Nose, and Throat) doctor. I have had procedures done where the Dr implants a small tube in the ear drum which allows for drainage. this is an out patient procedure and usually done in the office. but also look at the problems that lead to the fluid being in the inner ear. for me stopping the sinusitius early solved 90% of my problems.

hey, for swimmers ear my doc told us to put a tiny bit of vinegar on a q-tip and wet the inside of the ear with it, it drys out the liquid..... 3 years, 3 kids, no swimmers ear!
I imagine it just drys out all the fluid in there,

I know what that feels like and it really sucks~~
I have used 3 or 4 drops of rubbing alcohol, and it works pretty good at evaporating any fluid, BUT!!!
if you have any type of ear infection, it will burn like hell~~~~ If not, go ahead and give it a try~~~~

Just like Jennifer F. said. I used to do that for my children too. My son had a real problem with it and that's what we used on hom and it worked. Have a good Christmas.

warm water and peroxide, tilt your head, put it in with an eye dropper and sit that way for about thirty seconds then tilt your head the other way and let it drain out.
Do it for my kids all the time.
