Hold your head over to one side and let the water drip out.

put in a couple drops of rubbing alchohol.

tilt your head and pour a little rubbing alcohol in it, let it sit for a few seconds and put rag or tissue paper to ear and tilt to the other side, this will take all the water out of your ear!

do it after going swimming

You can get some ear drops from the grocery store. They smell like regular alcohol, but they clear that up. I think it's called "dry ear."

Lie down sideways with the clogged year on the pillow.. in about 1/2 hr - 1 hr it should have been drained..

Tilt your head down and then hop up and down on one leg. Trust me, it works.

tilit your head over the sink and put a cap full of rubbing alchohol in your ear, let it sit for a few seconds and you will feel it clear up and turn your head over so that ear faces the sink and the water will drain out

Hop. No kidding, it really helps. And it doesnt cost anything either.

Tilt your head to the side that is clogged and jump a few times. It really works :)

tilt ur head to the side push & pull ur ear

The water gets trapped around the bend of your ear so try tipping you head backwards first (i.e.look at the sky) for a little while then tilt it sideways and the water will trickle out :)

drop in a couple of drops of peroxide. The peroxide is heavier than the water it will bubble and push the water to the top. Lean your head over and the water and the perioxide will come out.

Family doctor's tip for swimmers ear

This may sound odd, but it works for me.
Stand on one leg and lean sideways pointing your ear towards the ground. You may need to hold onto a table or something secure. With your other leg elevated out to the side, kick forward from the knee down. The violent motion seems to help move the water out the ear. Do this several times. Let me know if it works for you.

Tip your head to the one side and let it drain.

if you put hydrogen poridixe into the ear it will dry out the ear rather than going out and buying swimmers ear (which is basically hydrogen peridide)

Lay down on that ear and eventually the water will come out.

Just pull your earlobe gently sidewards.

A tap on the head.

keep jumping up and down till water runs out

If it is deep in your ear try laying on the ground with your ear on the floor.

use a product called Swimmers-Ear its avalible at places like Longs and it drys out your ear and prevents swimmers ear

tilt your head to the side and pull gently on the ear lobe

use a q-tip

Get a face clothe and soak it in the warmest water you can stand ring it out and let the steam go into your ear and tilt your head that direction. Or tilt your head and rub your ear and let it drain that way.
