How to Remove Water from the Ear Naturally

Fortunately, it’s easy to remove water with just a few tricks. If home treatment doesn’t work and you start to feel pain , it’s important to see a doctor as soon as possible. So, check out now How to Remove Water From Ear Naturally:

Home Treatments:  Use a homemade solution made with half a measure of vinegar and isopropyl alcohol. In addition to helping to extract the water left in the ears , this solution will also prevent them from becoming infected. Make a solution that is made up of 50% isopropyl alcohol and 50% white vinegar, and then use a dropper to gently drop it several times into theaffected ear . Then carefully remove the excess. You can ask an adult to help you apply the solution. The acid in this mixture acts to break down the cerumen ( ear wax ) that may be holding water in the ear canal.

• And the alcohol will help the water to evaporate faster .
• Don’t do this if you have a perforated eardrum.

Lie on your side with your ear down: Gravity can help you deflate naturally. Lie down with the affected side facing down and use a pillow to relax. Stay in this position for a few minutes. Watch television or find another way to entertain yourself if necessary.

• If you notice that you have water in your Ear  at night, make sure it is tilted down when you go to bed. This can increase the chances that the water will drain on its own while you sleep.

Tilt your head to the side:  Another trick you can try is to stand up straight and tilt your head so that the affected ear is facing the floor. Try jumping on one foot just to drain the water . Pulling the earlobe to widen the canal or pulling the top of the ear to the side of the head can also help to remove water .

• You can also skip the jumping part and just tilt your head to the side and wait.

Create an Ear Vacuum:  Tilt the affected side down onto your palm and use it to gently press it in and out (like a plunger) until water starts to come out. The movement will create a suction that will bring the water out, until it falls into the palm of your hand. Do not do this with the ear tilted upwards, otherwise you may push the water further into the channel.

• An alternative is to tilt the Ear down, put a finger inside it to make a vacuum, pressing and quickly withdrawing the finger. The water should come out in no time. Note that this is not the most recommended method as it can scratch your ear canal and cause an infection. If your palm doesn’t work and you need to use your finger, make sure your finger is clean and your fingernails are clipped.
• Another alternative is, during the process, to massage the ear clockwise. Doing so will help remove the surface wet wax. Something that can be particularly helpful if the substance is harming your hearing.

Dry it:  While you might not believe in the effectiveness of a hair dryer to remove water  from your ears , its usefulness has been proven by some people. Simply put the dryer on the lowest heat setting, or even cool, and keep a distance of 30 cm between it and your head, directing the air towards the Ear until you feel the water come out. Just be careful that the air is not too hot or too close to the Ear to avoid burns.

• Another option is to use the dryer through the opening of the ear, instead of inside it. If it’s hot, the dry air evaporates the water , pushing its steam out.

Apply Over-the-Counter Medications To Remove Water: These medications can be found in pharmacies and usually contain alcohol, which evaporates quickly. Drop the medicine into the ear as recommended on the package insert and tilt your head down to empty the affected area.

• As recommended for the homemade solution, you can ask an adult to help you apply the dropper.

Dry it with a Cloth:  Wipe the ear slowly with a soft towel to get rid of some of the water , tilting it down towards the cloth. Just be careful not to press the tissue into the ear , otherwise you may end up pushing the water back into the ear.

Chew:  Pretend to be chewing some food to move the jaw bones around the ears. Tilt your head to the side that doesn’t have water and then quickly tilt it to the other side. Also try chewing gum to see if it can displace uncomfortable water . The movement of chewing can help release water that is trapped in your Eustachian tube, which is part of yourinner ear .

• Try chewing while tilting your head with the affected side down for the greatest effect.

Yawn:  Sometimes it is possible to burst the water “bubble” simply by yawning. Any movement that affects the water within the Ear can relieve tension and release it. If you feel a “pop” or some water movement, the yawn may have had a positive effect.

See a Doctor if Needed: You should see a doctor if you start to experience pain from water stuck in your ear . Also, be aware that a middle ear infection can feel like water is trapped there and will need to be treated as well. However, the accompanying pain is very likelya sign that the water has caused the infection known as swimmer’s ear. If you experience the following symptoms, see a doctor immediately:

• Yellowish or greenish and/or smelly secretion coming out of the Ear .
• Ear pain that increases when you pull the ear.
• Hearing loss.
• Itching in the ear or ear canal.
