Ears clogged...
I went swimming yesterday at South Beach in Florida. Now there is water stuck in my ear.
I've tried EVERYTHING.
Jumping on one left patting on head.
Sleep on the left side of my head, woke up this morning and still can barely hear out of my left ear.
Did the plug nose and blow.
I resulted to a Q-Tip and I think I made it worse.
Any ideas??? I'm going crazy!
I'm hoping when I fly home, maybe the altitude and elevation will make my ears "pop" or something.
HELLPP!!

Go to an ear, nose, and throat doctor there before you get on a plane. Make an emergency appointment. You need to get the fluid sucked out of your middle ear before there is permanent damage. Do in now!

my gradma has this home remedy, sounds bit weird but works
basicly someone warms up water in there mouth and than drops a bit in ur ear, than i think u swoosh it around a bit in ur ear than bam ear becomes unclogged
maybe just warmin up some water would do the same, but who knows
maybe smirf can chime in and see if he can confirm this

I was a swimmer for 7 years and this occasionally happened. Pour like half a capful of hydrogen peroxide in the ear...let it sit for a minute or so and then tilt head to the side again. Don't do it too much or it will dry your ear out too much and you can get an ear infection.

i usually lay down on opposite side of ear and have someone put a drop of peroxide in my clogged ear.....lay there and the peroxide will work its way down... after about 30 seconds put a piece of cotton ball in ear and flip sides......TAAA-DAAAA!!!! unclogged!!!! and you'll feel the liquid come right out as soon as you flip......
dip a q-tip in peroxide then squeeze a drop out into ear.... if you dont have dropper....
