    I need help

    On Saturday, I went swimming at a beach on Long Island, as I was there for the weekend. I was bodysurfing, and a wave took me under and tossed me around. When I emerged, I had water in my ear. 3 days later, it's still there. Do you guys know any effective ways of getting water out of ears? I've tried all the simplest ways and it's not working.

    And the Lord said, "Go Sox"

    People tell me that I'm patronizing.

    There might be some cerumen (earwax) in there too. Maybe getting your ears syringed at a walk-in clinic?

    Nothing seems to be working. I start school tomorrow, so that's even worse.

    Why not go to a walk-in clinic?

    I might as soon as I can. The closest one is 5-10 minutes away, so it's too bad I can't drive.

    Have you tried filling your ear with water? It sounds counter-intuitive, but it'll get all that water together, then you can simply drain it normally.

    The filling up the ear with water thing didn't work.
    I'll try the blow dryer.

    Did you try a few drops of rubbing alcohol?

    Hydrogen Peroxide always worked for me as an avid swimmer and lifeguard.

    It'll never come out. Your only option is having the entire side of your head removed. Ear, scalp, skull, brain, everything. Good luck.
