5. Blowing the Nose
You should understand by now that the nose, ears, and throat are all connected to each other – that’s why there are the nose, throat, and ear doctors: Have you ever thought about just why they work with all three at the same time? If you have a little bit of fluid that has entered your ear, then you might try releasing pressure on the ear canal through obvious ways we’ve already mentioned, like pulling on the earlobes or activating the swallowing reflex by drinking something.
You can also try another way – like blowing the nose. This has the same effect on the ear canal, and often makes the ears “pop” and releases the water – be sure to combine this with angling your head. Some people also hold their noses and then engage in a “blowing motion” the same way they would blow their noses to increase the “popping effect” in their ears.
