6. Heat on the Ear
Have you read up until this part in the list and tried everything we’ve mentioned before but none of it worked? Then it is time to consider one of two possibilities – either the water is trapped so deeply in your ear that you will need some extra work to remove it, potentially a doctor’s visit and assistance to help you, or the water that you think is trapped in your ear right now is not water at all – but instead the build-up of fluid from an ear infection.
Some ear infections might go away on their own without much fussing, but there are some ear infections that would mean you should go to a doctor immediately to avoid further infection or the potential of developing hearing loss as a symptom. One of the things that can bring relief if you are struggling with an ear infection is putting heat onto your ear – in the form of a mild, only slightly hot water bottle – not too hot or you will burn.
