If water in the ear can be evaporated by jumping on one leg, cotton swabs, blowing on the ear with a hair dryer, etc. If the above methods are not effective, you can go to the hospital and clean up the water and secretions in the external ear canal under the otoscope to solve the problem.
Water in the ear is mostly caused by washing hair, bathing or swimming. When water enters the ear, the liquid may form a film of water on the surface of the ear canal or eardrum, which can cause the ear to feel stuffy and very uncomfortable.
1. If there is a small amount of water in the ear, you can jump on one leg with the affected ear pointing downward, and the water may drain out on its own through the force of gravity. Alternatively, you can use cotton swabs to absorb water gently into the outer ear canal, or blow on the ear with a hair dryer to evaporate the water.
2. If there is a lot of water in the ear, or there is cerumen in the ear canal, and the cerumen expands after being exposed to water, which leads to stuffy and blocked ears, then it is recommended to go to the hospital in time, and you need to clean up the water in the external ear canal and the cerumen and other secretions under the otoscopy in order to solve the problem.
Therefore, if you have water in the ear and cannot handle it by yourself, it is recommended to go to the hospital for consultation and treatment by a specialist.
