Water stuck in ear. Any advice
Posted on 5/23/16 at 7:39 am

Decided to go swimming this weekend and woke up with a clogged ear the following morning. I've tried jumping up and down like a moron as well as using alcohol but nothing will give. I can't hear water moving or feel it when I move my head so not sure what's going on. Clogged wax?
Should I try to wait it out or head to the doc? This is day two btw and there is no pain

Stick a Q Tip into the ear as far as it can go and it absorb the water

They sell stuff for that at the drugstore.

A solution of equal parts rubbing alcohol and white vinegar. Drop a cap full in the ear, hold for a couple of seconds, and then let drain. Don't bother buying the "swimmer's ear" from CVS, because it's the same thing.

grab like a teaspoon of flour, add a little bit of salt, spit into your hand and mix it all together until it forms into a dough. Put that into your ear like an ear plug(don't jam it all the way in, just to close the opening)
Go to sleep, and in the morning, the dough will draw out all the moisture. Your spit has bacteria fighting abilities don't use water.

I had the same thing and ended up having to go to an ENT. None of the home remedies worked.

I have tried alcohol vinegar mix and that didn't help at all. Should I goto standard doctor or ent?

Happens to me when fairly often. Wax gets built up and for whatever reason lets water in and won't let it out.
Solution for me is to flush ear with warm water with one of those bulb things to get the wax out. If wax is really set in I drop some mineral oil a few time throughout the day and then flush. First time I had this done I went to the doctor after dealing with water in my ear for almost two weeks.

I looked on WebMD. Looks like you have cancer. I'm sorry

Yes. I had this yesterday and had hell getting it out.

Don't stick a Q Tip into the ear as far as it can go.

jump really high and land sideways on your bed with the ear that the water is stuck in facing down. Worked like a charm when I was a kid.

Do stick a Q-tip as far into your ear as you can.
