Kapanlagi.com - We often accidentally put water into the ears. Usually, this happens when swimming or bathing. Water in the ears can last for quite a long time. Because sometimes removing water from the ears is not easy. You need to know how to properly overcome water in the ears.

Removing water from the ears carelessly can cause infection or inflammation. In addition, when water enters the ears, we will feel uncomfortable and our hearing will be disturbed. Therefore, the liquid that enters the ears should not be taken lightly. Water that enters the ears should also be removed as soon as possible.

So, how to overcome water in the ears? Here are some reviews, summarized from various sources.

 

 

1. Tilting the Head

One of the easiest ways to remove water that has entered the ear is by tilting the head. You simply tilt your head towards the ear that has water in it. So, for example, if the right ear has water in it, you simply tilt your head to the right. Likewise, vice versa.

To make it easier for the water to come out, you can tilt your head by making small jumping movements. Indirectly, these jumps will help push the water out more easily. In addition to small jumps, you can also tilt your head while lying down. The force of gravity will cause the water to flow from a higher place to a lower place.

2. Adding a Little Water Again

Another way to deal with water in the ear is by adding water to the ear again. Although it may sound strange, this method has been proven effective in removing water from the ear. You don't need to add too much water, just 1-2 drops will suffice.


This method will be effective if done quickly or shortly after the ear gets water in it. After adding water, you can tilt your head as in the previous method. Wait for a few moments and the water will come out on its own.

3. Warm Water Compress

Compressing with warm water can also be one way to overcome water in the ears. The method is quite easy, you just need to provide warm water and a clean cloth or towel. If so, soak the clean cloth or towel in warm water. After that, compress the part of the ear that has water in it. Don't forget to tilt your head towards the ear that has water in it.

Do it for about 30 seconds, then lift the compress cloth. Repeat it four times or until the water comes out on its own. It should be noted that this method will be more effective if done in a lying position.

4. Use a Hair Dryer

If you have a hair dryer at home, you can use it to remove water from your ears. You just need to use it as usual.

However, you need to maintain a minimum distance of 30 cm between the hair dryer and the ear with water in it. In addition, because the ear is a sensitive organ, you also need to use the lowest heat level. The heat from the hair dryer will cause the water in the ear to evaporate and come out.

5. Jaw Movement

The way to overcome water in the ear can also be done by doing jaw movements. You just need to move your jaw like when chewing food or yawning. This movement is believed to help relieve the ear canal. That way, water will come out more easily.

6. Pumping with Palm

To remove water from your ears, you can also use your palm. The method is very easy, you just need to cup your palm onto the surface of the ear with water. Then make up and down movements while applying pressure to the ear. This movement will create air pressure similar to a pump that will suck out the water.

7. Shaking the Earlobe

Not many people know, it turns out that by shaking the earlobe, water in the ear can be easily removed. You just need to hold or pull the earlobe or the bottom part of the ear. While pulling the earlobe, tilt your head towards the shoulder. Repeat this process until the water in the ear comes out.

So those are some ways to deal with water in the ear. You can practice them directly when your ears get water during bathing or swimming.
