Don't resist seeing a doctor if it stays in there too long you might get an infection.  Here is a link that may help.\n\nhttp://www.health911.com/remedies/rem_swim.htm\n\nIf this persists then see a doctor immediately!

Place a cotton ball on your ear and lie on your side so the water can drain out.  This may take some time, so you may wish to take a little nap or watch a T V show\nGood luck\nHope

do you mean that you have tubes in your ears? If thats what u mean then i've had tubes 3 times so im like a pro w/ knowing wat 2 do and not do! lol! Well when you take a shower you dont want to get your ears really wet caus you can get infections that can b really bad. Put cotten in them, it helps. Another thing you dont want to do is DIVE! You can go swimming but dont go to deep cause it ca pop your ear drum. when you do go swimming its usually a good idea to wear earplugs too. Other then that you can pretty much do anything! Hope that helps! :)

For a quick home remedy mix a solution of hydrogen peroxide and water. Half and half. Preferably warm, not hot or cold, water. Drop a few drops in and let it stand for about 15 minutes, then flush the ear out with just warm water while keeping your head tipped so it will drain out. Do this a couple times a day. Also, get to the store and get yourself an earwax removal kit. Do NOT use straight Hydrogen Peroxide, it will break down the lining that protects the ear. Good luck....

either get a q-tip and get the water out by letting the qtip soak it up, but heres another great way\ni know it may sound like im trying to make you look stupid, but im not...TRUST ME, IT WORKS!\nhop on one foot, have your head tilted to the side, and hit the side of your head your trying to get the water out of...like if the right side of your head was down as you were jumping, hit the right side of your head, but dont hit it too hard!

check into getting your ears candled.  it is painless and you will be amazed at a) what comes outta there and b) how much better your hearing is.\n\ncandling is really a simple procedure, it is just a paper tube that is coated in a waxy material, it is placed into your ear canal and lit, as it burns down, it draws the ear wax up into the tube.  It is much more effective at getting your ears cleaned than a q-tip that actually will push some of the wax further down into your ear.

Guaranteed cure:  Get an ear bulb at the drug store.Make a bowel of hot soapy water and use a bar of Ivory soap and make the water very soapy. Lie on you side and squeeze  the hot soapy water into your ear and let it set 10 minutes. Do the same with the other ear.\nRepeat this twice a day for 3 days. Then on the 4th day, use a shower hose and warm water to flush out your ears. I did this when I was young and never needed it done again!

Lay your head on a pillow, put 2 or 3 drops of alcohol in your ear. Wait for a minute or two, and then repeat the process on the other ear. The alcohol will "break-down" the superficial tension of the water and it will leave it dry as new. You will feel how the water comes out leaving your hears refreshed. Don't worry, alcohol is harmless even if you accidentally pour the whole bottle and it's a great replacement for those expensive tiny bottles sold exclusively for swimmers. DO NOT put a q-tip or ANYTHING inside your ear. DO NOT hit your head with ANYTHING (not even with your hand, it's useless and it'll make you look crazy).

You might think i am crazy, but i work at a hospital and we have a lot of people who can not afford medications. we tell them to use one part vinegar, one part peroxide, and one part water. mix and use a eye dropper to put a drop or two in your ear. it will naturally help the ear wax come out of your ear and help dry up any fluid build  up you may have. worth a shot anyways.

I burst my eardrum and even when i was told that it was healed, everytime i swam my ear started aching, rather not swim to prevent further damages! If you must then get ear plugs or something that will prevent water splashing into your ear, don't go underwater.

If you really want to clean your ears out, go to a health\nfood store and ask for an ear wax cone. It has bees wax and it is in a funnel shape. You light the cone\nand use something to catch the ashes that fall off.\nYou have to keep your head tilted so it runs into your deep\npart of your ear. It is not hot, wont burn you. But when you \ntake it out and see all the stuff it has collected, you will use\nthem all the time to keep your ears clean.  Works wonders believe me. They have like 3 kinds, I like the lavender one.

I would try putting some rubbing alcohol in the ear, as long there is no pain or oozing from the ear.  It will help dry out the water if it's from showering or bathing.  It may be an infection.  Check for a fever or pain.  A doctor can look at the membrane of the ear for redness or swelling.  80% of ear infections resolve without antibiotics within 3 days of symptoms, so it may be not need to be treated.

first off try putting cotton ball in your sore ear whenever you go outside, try not to get water in it while showering or washing your hair, a hair dryer blowing into your ear is a temporary quick fix.

You can use hydrogen peroxide to clean it out, but it does dry up the ear canal. I've tried this and it works for me though. :)\n    You can also go to an Ear, Nose, and Throat specialist for the doctor to either suck out the wax with their equipment, or use an ear currette to scoop out the wax. You may want to tell him your problem and the surgery so he will know what to do to help you with the wax problem. Good luck. :)

Plug your ears while drinking 10 gulps of water.  It works for me every time.
