How do you get water out of your ear after swimming?

How do you get water out of your ear after swimming? I went swimming last night at a birthday party. I got water in my ear. I tried getting it out by hitting that ear, hitting the other ear, jumping up and down, jumping up and down on one foot, wiggling my ear, and I used a Q-tip. But, nothing worked, so I went to bed. I can still feel the water in my ear. Does anybody know a trick to make it come out?

Best Answer

if its not gone by tommorow go to cvs or walgreens. they have products to get water out of your ear. one is an aspirator, you fill it with water and squirt it in your ear, it comes out along with the trapped water. another is a product i forgot the name but its like ear drops and it dries it out over a day or so.

• I have read that putting coarse salt in a sock and heating it up and then laying the ear on it helps. I haven%26#039;t ever had the need, but maybe it%26#039;ll help you.
• oooh i swim all the time..
  so im use to it
  but it does get annoying..so,
  try hitting and jump the ear at the same time with your head tilted.
  if not..scream yell or listen to something loud :D
• Put a little alcohol in your ear and lay on your side for a minute the turn your head over and pour out the alcohol
• put white alcohol in it, it%26#039;ll come out inmediately.-
