Water deep in the ear can be removed by jumping on one leg and using gravity to facilitate the removal of the water. If you are unable to get the water out yourself, you will need to go to the hospital and seek the help of a doctor, who can use a suction device under an otoscope to draw the water out.
If the patient accidentally gets water in the ear, he or she can turn the ear with the water in it downward and use gravity to expel the water by hopping. Alternatively, you can use your hand to tap the ear that is not filled with water, and the water will drain out of the ear through pressure. Once the water is out of the ear, use a sterile cotton swab to wipe it clean.
Some patients who have severe water in the ear canal may not be able to expel the water on their own through the above methods. You can seek medical help from an otolaryngologist, who will usually use a suction device under an otoscope to draw the water out of the ear canal. This procedure is not painful and is nothing to worry about.
It is important for the patient to get the fluid out of the ear canal in a timely manner to avoid infection and damage to the health.
