Stagnant water in the ear often occurs after swimming or bathing, especially during the summer months. Stagnant water in the ear is only annoying at first, but if it’s not removed right away or the water doesn’t drain out on its own, you’ll most likely experience inflammation, swelling, or inflammation of the outer ear and ear canal – also known as otitis media. acute otitis externa. Fortunately, we can easily get rid of water in our ears with just a few small tricks. If home drainage doesn’t work and your ear hurts, see your doctor as soon as possible.

Make a homemade mixture with a ratio of half alcohol and half white vinegar. In addition to helping to remove standing water in the ear, this solution also helps to disinfect and fight ear infections. It’s very simple, you just need to mix the solution with 50% alcohol and 50% white vinegar, use an ear dropper and carefully put a few drops of the suspension into the ear that has been filled with water. Then dry the ear. You can ask someone to help you put this solution in your ear. [1] X Research Source
- The acids in the mixture will work to break down the earwax that may contain some water in the ear canal, while the alcohol dries quickly and evaporates the water.
- Alcohol also helps water in the ear evaporate faster.
- If you have a perforated eardrum, do not do it this way.

Create a “vacuum machine” in your ear. Put the waterlogged ear in the palm of your hand, then beat it with your palm until the water starts to come out. Do not do this at the same time as the other ear, or water may flow back into the ear canal. This will create a vacuum-like mechanism that draws water from your ear to your hand.
- Alternatively, you can tilt your ear down, put a finger in your ear and create a vacuum by pressing and pulling quickly. Stagnant water will drain out of the ear very quickly. Note that this is not the preferred way as it can scratch and infect the ear canal. If using the palm of your hand doesn’t work and you want to use your fingers, make sure to keep your fingers clean and keep your fingernails short. [1] X Research Source
- In addition, while performing this vacuum method, you can take advantage of the ear massage in a clockwise (or anti-clockwise) direction while the ear is closed. This also helps to moisten the earwax and get rid of the steam. This is especially helpful if standing water in your ears affects your ability to hear.

Dry the ears. You may doubt that a dryer can remove water in the ear, but in fact, this method has been proven to work for many people. [2] X Research Sources[3] X Trusted Source Cleveland Clinic Go to Source You can simply set the dryer to the lowest heat setting or even just to cool. Hold the dryer at least 30cm away from your head and blow it into your ear until you feel the water in your ear dry. Just don’t get too hot and too close to avoid burning yourself. [1] X Research Source
- Alternatively, you can let the dryer blow “through” the ear, not “in” into the ear. Warm, dry air will evaporate the water quickly. [4] X Research Sources

Use ear drops (over-the-counter) to get water out of your ears. Ear drops are available at any drugstore and usually contain alcohol, which evaporates water quickly. Put a few drops in the ear and tilt the ear to dry the watery ear area.
- As with the homemade solution, you can ask someone to help you put the drops in your ear.

Use a dry towel to wipe your ears. Wipe the earlobe slowly and gently with a soft towel or shirt to remove any remaining water, then place the ear close to the towel to drain the remaining water in the inner ear. [1] X Research Source Be careful not to press the towel deeply into the ear to avoid water seeping back into the ear.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/1/18/Remove-Water-from-Ears-Step-6-Version-8.jpg/v4-460px-Remove-Water- from-Ears-Step-6-Version-8.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/1/18/Remove-Water-from-Ears-Step-6- Version-8.jpg/v4-728px-Remove-Water-from-Ears-Step-6-Version-8.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Tilt your head to one side. You can try another trick of standing on one leg and tilting your head to the side so that your ears are parallel to the ground, or try hopscotch to get the water out. Pulling on the earlobe to widen the ear canal or pressing the top of the earlobe against the side of the head can also help drain the water.
- You can’t jump but just tilt your head to the side.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/e/e1/Remove-Water-from-Ears-Step-7-Version-8.jpg/v4-460px-Remove-Water- from-Ears-Step-7-Version-8.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/e/e1/Remove-Water-from-Ears-Step-7- Version-8.jpg/v4-728px-Remove-Water-from-Ears-Step-7-Version-8.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Lie on your side with your ears down. Gravity can naturally dry out the ears. Just lie on your side, with one ear straight down for the best effect, or you can add a pillow for comfort. Hold that position for at least a few minutes. You can watch TV or find other ways to entertain yourself if necessary.
- If you have water in your ear at night, remember to put the earlobe down when you go to sleep. This will increase the chance that the water in your ear will drain on its own while you sleep.

Chew. Act as if you were eating something to move the jawbone around the ear. Tilt your head to the side where there is no water, then quickly tilt your head to the other side. You can also try chewing gum to see if that can get rid of standing water. Water in the ear collects at the location of the eustachian tube, which is part of the inner ear, and chewing can help release the water there.
- You can also try chewing while tilting your head to the side of the watery ear for better results.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/f/f2/Remove-Water-from-Ears-Step-9-Version-8.jpg/v4-460px-Remove-Water- from-Ears-Step-9-Version-8.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/f/f2/Remove-Water-from-Ears-Step-9- Version-8.jpg/v4-728px-Remove-Water-from-Ears-Step-9-Version-8.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Yawn. Sometimes you can burst water “bubbles” just by yawning. Any movement that affects the water in the ear can help relieve pressure and drain the water. If you feel a “pop” or feel the water in your ears change, then this method has worked. Like chewing gum, yawning will also help open up the tubes.

See a doctor when necessary. You should see a doctor when you start to feel ear pain. In addition, you should know that the symptoms of otitis media can be quite similar to water in the ear, and this disease also needs to be treated. Earaches can also be a sign that water in the ear is causing an acute otitis externa. If you have the following symptoms, you should see a doctor immediately: [5] X Research Source
- Yellow, yellow-green or unusual pus, with a fishy odor, coming out of the ear
- The phenomenon of ear pain increases when you pull the earlobe
- Loss of hearing
- Itching of the ear canal or ear

Dry your ears after swimming. After swimming – whether swimming in the sea or in the pool, or after bathing, you should take care to keep your ears dry. Use a clean towel to dry the outer ear area and pat the area near the ear canal to dry the ear. Tilt your head to the side or shake your head to remove any remaining water in the ear.

- The truth is that some people are more prone to water retention in their ears than others, depending largely on the shape of the ear. So if you leave too much water in your ears, you should be especially careful.

Limit the use of cotton swabs to clean the ears. You may think that cotton swabs will help remove water, earwax or foreign objects from the ear, but in fact it backfires because cotton swabs can push water or earwax deeper into the ear. Cotton swabs can also scratch the ear, causing pain later on. [7] X Research Sources[8] X Credible Sources Cleveland Clinic Go to Source
- Similarly, using a tissue to clean the inside of the ear can also scratch the ear.

Avoid using earplugs or cotton balls when your ears are covered with water. Using earplugs or cotton balls when you sleep at night has the same effect as cotton swabs if there is water or something in your ear because these will be pushed deeper into the ear. If you feel an earache or have water in your ear, avoid using these items. [9] X Trusted Source Mayo Clinic Go to Source
- You should also avoid using headphones until the pain is gone.
Advice
- Just chew gum while you lie on your side (towards the waterlogged ear). After a few minutes all the water in the ear will drain out on its own.
- Cover your nose with two fingers and try blowing slowly. Be careful not to blow too hard because it can hurt the eardrum.
- Blow your nose. Changing air pressure can also help get water in the ear.
- Pour the IPA alcohol-filled cap into the waterlogged ear while holding the ear up. Then tilt your head with your ears down. Water in the ear will drain out immediately.
- While jumping up and down, gently pull the earlobe. Keep a towel nearby to dry off the water.
- Cover your nose and blow while holding your breath, you will feel the air escaping through the ear canal.
- Do not poke and scratch deep in the ear, or you may get an ear infection.
- Tilt your head to the side, jump up and down, and gently tug at your ears.
- Tilt your head to the side of the waterlogged ear, or see a doctor if the above tips don’t work. Maybe your ear has a more serious problem.
- Shake your head vigorously for about 10 seconds.
Warning
- Alcohol wipes are for external use only. Do not drink. Call 911 immediately if accidentally swallowed.
- Rubbing alcohol can cause temporary skin numbness in contact with the skin.
- Consult your doctor if the tips in this article don’t work for you.
- Be careful not to lose your balance while jumping. You can hold onto a chair while jumping for balance.
- These methods will most likely help you get the earwax and water mixture out of your ears. So be careful not to get the earwax mixture on fabrics that are difficult to clean.
- Do not put foreign objects in the ear. Cotton swabs and similar materials when inserted deep into the ear can scratch the skin, causing infection. [1] X Research Source
