Question:
Water in Ear! Help!?
Went swimming last night, and now it feels like I still have water in my left ear... How do you get the water out? It is drivin me nutz. I can't hear very well out of it as well! Anyone have any ideas...
PS- I have already tried Q-tips!
Answers:
You can buy a product in the drugstore called Debrox which is for softening the wax in your ear because it sounds like water has become trapped under there. Put the Debrox in amd let it soften the wax, then flush it with the little bulb that comes in the box. It may take a few applications. Or you can get some hydrogen peroxide and drop it in your ear while you lie on your side for a few minutes. It will bubble up and tickle like hell. You must also buy an ear bulb (in th baby products section, or ask the pharmacist) to flush out your ear.
Alcohol is supposed to dry up the water in your ear, but if it's trapped under your earwax, it won't help.
Look into the drops that will prevent swimmer's ear in the future. You can also go to your doctor, who can flush your ear quickly. Good luck.
