I know this may sound strange but to do this you have to put peroxide in you ear....it will dry the water up ...take about 1/2 a cap of peroxide lay on your side and pore it into your ear..its gonna bubble up and fizz but thats normal... I go swimming almost every day and I am a mother and i know this works after about a minute turn your head ove and let it drain out.lay there about i minute with it draining out...Then if you want to you can dry the rest of it out with a q-tip

Very gently blow warm dry air in your ear. Very gently you don't want to irritate or damage your eardrum, it will take a little while but it will work. Many times the water is not in the outer ear but the inner ear, you may have the problem a while longer if that is the case, but it will clear up. You may also wish to see a specialist if you have this problem often or suffer pain as you may have a partially ruptured eardrum like my brother had.

Put more water in and then tilt your head to one side (the affected ear facing the ground) and bang your head with your hand so the water will all run out (of your ear).

You might try sweet oil. You can buy it with the ear drops in a regular store. Or look for something for swimmer's ear. I've used sweet oil in my daughter's ear a few times and it seems to help. One time though, she got an ear infection after swimming all weekend and I had to take her to the doctor.

Well. First tap ur ear on one side, then the water will feel warm as it comes out. On the other, tap it really gently again and it will feel as it did for the other.

Oh man, this is so annoying! What I usually do is tilt my head to one side, then bang the other side. I know it sounds absolutely mental but it usually works! Don't bang too hard though, that is mental.

you should really go to the Doctors, he can flush them out, because it is nothing to fool with, you could get inner ear infection.
