Water in the ear is a relatively common condition in daily life. You can pour out excess water by turning your head to the side of the ear that has water in it, and then deal with it according to the specific situation. For adults with water in the ear, you can place the ear down and bounce on one leg, gently pulling the earlobe to straighten the ear canal so that the water in the ear flows out by gravity, and then dry the outer ear with a cotton swab. You can also chew gum or swallow several times to create some air pressure in the eardrum, so that water can flow out of the ear canal, and then dry it with a cotton swab. When your child has water in the ear, you can use a thin cotton swab or cotton to roll it into a long strip and suck out the water. If your child is crying, avoid pulling out their ears to avoid perforation of the eardrum. If the water in the ear canal forms a cerumen mixture that is difficult to discharge, you can go to the hospital to have the secretions in the external ear canal cleaned and discharged by a specialist through cerumen hooks or external ear canal rinsing. If it is dirty water, it is recommended to use external ear canal rinsing to avoid ear canal infection. For example, when swimming, you can use ear plugs and swim caps to block the ear canal to avoid water ingress. Avoid getting dirty water into your ears when you take a shower or wash your face. If the ear canal becomes itchy and overflows with sticky pus-like liquid after water has entered the ear, it is usually an inflammatory infection or eczema, so it is recommended to go to the hospital in time to avoid delaying the condition.
