How does one get water trapped in the ear out?

In: Head Ears and Nose [Edit categories]

Answer:

Position your head so that the affected ear faces down. Throw more water in, hard. If the water you're throwing in reaches the trapped water, it will all get drained out together.

or

Position your head so that the ear with water in it is facing up. Put more water in. Quickly turn your head so the affected ear faces down.

These usually work for me; the extra water gets moving and drains the ear. If they don't work, try a Q-tip. BE VERY CAREFUL with this method. It's not exactly what doctors recommend.
