Tilt your head: Tilt your head to the affected side and gently pull your earlobe downwards. This can help to create a small opening in your ear canal, allowing the water to drain out. You can also try shaking your head gently while your ear is tilted to encourage the water to come out.
Use gravity: Lie down on your side with the affected ear facing downwards. This can help the water to drain out naturally. You can also try placing a towel or tissue under your ear to absorb the water as it drains out.
Try the Valsalva maneuver: Take a deep breath and close your mouth. Pinch your nostrils shut with your fingers and gently blow out through your nose. This can help to create pressure in your ear canal, which may force the water out.
Use a hairdryer: Set your hairdryer to the lowest heat setting and hold it a few inches away from your ear. Gently blow air into your ear canal to help evaporate the water. Make sure not to hold the hairdryer too close to your ear, as this can cause damage to your eardrum.
Use ear drops: Over-the-counter ear drops can help to dry up any remaining water in your ear. These drops contain a drying agent, such as alcohol or vinegar, which can help to evaporate the water. Follow the instructions on the label carefully, and do not use ear drops if you have a perforated eardrum or an ear infection.
