It lodges around your ear drum...like the first person said...it usually stays in your canal...until it ether evaporates or you pump it out

The auditory canal is part or the outer ear (which also includes the part of your ear that you can see (the pinna) and the tube which leads to the eardrum. It is where earwax is excreted. Ear wax helps protect the ear canal from small foreign bodies by pushing them out. The eardrum is the three-layer thick membrane between your ear canal and the middle ear. It moves in response to sound and wiggles the bones in your middle ear. The middle ear is where the bones,( in layman's terms), called the hammer, anvil, and stirrup are. This is the location of most ear infections in children. The cochlea is part of the inner ear, and it is the snail-shaped organ that turns the mechanical part of hearing into the nerve impulses to the brainstem and the brain via the auditory nerve..

it goes into your lungs and then straight into your blood stream from there.  how do you think oxygen gets in your blood??

Where were you when they did high school biology?  Your hearing canal opens into your throat from one side and out to your ear on the other side of the eardrum.  So the only thing that will drain out of your ear and onto your pillow (ugh) is something you got into your ear from the outside.  Ear infections can lead to hearing loss (wha'd you say?)  if not taken care of.  Go see your doctor! Now!

I always heard that laying down with your ear against a pillow for about 5 minutes helps get water out of your ears. I would think showering with a cotton ball in your ear might prevent watter from getting in.

Go to the Dr and have your ear flushed out.  You will be surprised at the gunk that will come out.  Or, you can buy a product at the pharmacy.  It certainly is annoying.  Whatever you do, don't stick anything in your ear, as once it is blocked like that, it is pretty difficult to unblock it.

Thre's a fluid that circulates between the brain & the cranium(skull).  The fluid is countinuously produced & drained, thus if there's problem with drainage of fluid, it builds up inside of your head.  The fluid pressure can't go out the cranium, so it exerts force on the brain instead.

If you tilt your head downward when rinsing around your ears you should be able to avoid water from building up in them.

depends on how bad usually about a week though if you get ear drops and keep water out of that ear it should clear up if not call a doctor

Tip your head to the side of the ear that is filled with water and then bang the side of your head with your hand.

Try getting these drops called "Swimmer's Ear." You just put them in and they dry up all the excess water in your ears.

i dont remember what its called...maybe swimmers ear or something like that, but there are ear drops available that dry up any excess water in your ears after you swim. I used it so i wouldnt get an ear infection from the pool water. works great...try asking a pharmacist to see if they still make it.

http://home.earthlink.net/~jodette/fluid.html\n\nSymptoms\nSerous otitis media is the medical term for "fluid in the middle ear." Its symptoms are primarily hearing loss-with pressure or pain-are frequently experienced by children and adults alike, and typically follow an upper respiratory infection.\n\nFindings\nGenerally, the problem is found to be a blockage of the Eustachian tube. This narrow canal connects the middle ear to the back of the nose and permits air to enter the middle ear cavity, allowing the hearing mechanism to function properly. An audiogram shows hearing loss due to fluid in the middle ear. A tympanogram shows less eardrum motion due to fluid.\n\nTreatment Of Adults\nMedical treatment is usually effective in adults. Antihistamines, decongestants, and steroids may be used to reduce swelling of the Eustachian tube. Myringotomy and allergy management are sometimes recommended.\n\nYou should see your Doctor right away for treatment, if you have not already.\n\n\n\nBelow is a link for the American Tinnitus Association which seems to be geared more towards a ringing in the ear:\n\nhttp://www.ata.org/\n\nGood luck!

THe majority if it is in the semicircular canals; a little bit of it is in a small area attached to them.\n\nBalance, however, is sensed by hairlike projections INTO the fluid that does the sensing, as the fluid's intertia causes it to "flow" when the head moves...\n\nThe semicircular canals are close to the cochlea, by the way...

It could be fluid from cold or allergies, an ear infection, or wax blockage. DON'T stick anything in your ear - you could damage your eardrum. See a doctor, who can look inside and determine what the problem is.
