How To Remove Water From Your Ear After Shower Or Swimming?
"My left ear became clogged with water while taking a shower. It remained the same for more than 48 hours. I have tried alcohol drops, and various other methods designed for earwax removal. But nothing worked. I can barely hear anything out of the clogged ear".
Does this sounds familiar to you? Are you witnessing the same problem? If yes, then this article is a must read.
Effective Oil To Treat Ear Infections
Ears clogged with water for a long period of time will lead to ear infections, ear wax and grime. It is very important to get rid of the water in the ear, as ignoring it can cause an infection that travels to the brain resulting in headaches, migraines and sinusitis.
To remove water from the ear after a shower or swimming is quite easy. The home remedies mentioned in today's list will help you to solve this problem easily.
Effective Tips To Clean Your Ear
While getting rid of the water, make sure you don't dig your ear canal with sharp instruments. Avoid using too cotton buds as they can harm the walls of the canal and can rupture the eardrum. On the other hand, while removing the water, ,make sure not to poke your fingers in your ear too!
Today, Boldsky tells you what you can do to remove clogged water in the ear. Take a look at some of the best ways to get rid of a clogged ear filled with water.
Jump Up & Down
This might sound silly to you, but it sure does work wonders. Tilt your head to the side of the ear that has water. Now, hop on one leg while your head still remains tilted. This motion helps to remove the water from your ear. It is an effective solution, only if you try it as soon as you step out of the shower.
Move Your Jaw
The next best way to remove water from your ears is to tilt your head to one side. Now, open and close your jaw (as if you were yawning). If you do this simple exercise for about 10 minutes, the water will drain out from the ear canal.
Pull The Pinna
Your ear canal has a little kink in it where water usually gets trapped. To get rid of the trapped water, gently straighten out the ear to allow the water to flow out easily.
Sleep On The Clogged Ear Side
Make sure to lie on the side of the blocked ear, such that the ear is on the pillow. Sleep in this position for about 30 minutes. The natural pull of gravity will help to remove the water from your ear.
Draw Out The Water
One of the best ways to remove water from the ear canal is by using a tissue to absorb it. Roll the end of a tissue and gently place it in the mouth of the clogged ear canal. Don't stuff the tissue inside the ear. You can also tilt your head to the side to make the process easier.
Leave It Alone
Sometimes, the water comes out on its own when you tilt your head at regular intervals during the day. So, be a little patient.
Last Option: Visit A Doctor
If the water is still remaining in your ear even after trying out these remedies, it is best for you to see an ENT specialist.
