We often have a little water left in our ears after bathing. In addition to not being a pleasant feeling, it can lead to infection. With these seven tricks you will quickly get rid of that discomfort.
If you do not succeed and if you feel pain, be sure to consult a doctor, and this can help you get rid of water from your ears:
Make alcohol and vinegar drops
This mixture will free the passage of water from the ears and prevent infection. The procedure is simple. Pour half alcohol and half white vinegar into the bottle, then use a dropper to put a few drops in the ear. Drain by moving your head. You must not practice this if you have an injured eardrum.
Create a vacuum in the enclosure
Press the palm of your hand on the ear that is not leaking water. Press until you create a slight vacuum to draw out the water. You can also create a vacuum with your finger. Turn the ear down, insert your finger into it and quickly pull it out.
Dry the ear with warm air
If you have it handy, use a hair dryer to dry your hair. Set it to the weakest and place it at a distance of 30 centimeters from the window. The warm air will encourage the evaporation of water from the condition.
Hop on one leg
Tilt your head to the same side where the ear is full of water. Stand on one leg and jump. At the same time, pull the earlobe back as this can slightly widen the ear canal. If you don't want to jump, try tilting your head and pulling the tassel.
Lie down and count on gravity
Lie on your stomach and turn the ear that is full of water down. Stay like that for a few minutes. It can happen that gravity takes its toll and water seeps out through a hole.
Chew or pretend to chew
The jawbones are close to the ears so chewing movements can help. Eat something, put some gum in your mouth or just improvise. At the same time, tilt your head down with the eye that is not in the water, then suddenly turn it to the other side.
Try yawning
Yawning also helps as well as chewing because the bones around the ears move. That can bring relief, reports B92.
