Hold your head sideways & let gravity work!

use a Q-tip soak in iso-alcohol. replaces the water. side effects are a slight burning sensation.:gig:

tilt your ear down and hop on the opposite foot...that usually works for me

sit in a hot tub/sauna and wait for the water to turn to steam. ;)

i have drops that i use for that, but all they are is rubbing alcohol... i use it every day... just pore some rubbing alcohol straight into your ear... let it sit for a few seconds and then turn your head the other way and dump it out... works every time :cool:

Had it happen to me for like a week once. It was annoying as hell but one morning I woke up and everything was fine. Try to sleep with that ear down and eventually it will work it's way out.

mine usually only clears up if i sleep with the jacked-up ear up. when i sleep with it down it just gets worse. not sure why.

i'm tellin ya... just put a few drops of rubbing alcohol straight into your ear... or if you're afraid to do that, go to the store and get the rubbing alcohol that says "swim ear drops" on the lable :cool:

Then go to your doctor and have him flush it out. Its kind of painful, but it will get the job done.

i have been to the Dr. several times for this and they just do about a 1 min thing that flushes your ear out. simple and pretty painless.

if the alcohol won't fix it, you've got bigger problems...
