Question:

I have a waterlogged ear. How do I get the water out other than shaking my head while pulling my ear?

It's been blocked for 2 days now and I've tried everything that my parents have suggested, but to no avail. All answers are appreciated


Answers:

The same thing happens to me all the time, basically you have a tilted ear canal so water gets stuck in there and doesn't flow back out like with other people's ears. My doctor told me to use about a capful of hydrogen peroxide usp, you tilt your head and pour it in, wait a few seconds then dry with a cotton ball. It crackles really loudly for a few minutes but it loosens up the water and unblocks your ear. Works great for me, so I hope this works for you too :)
