do a half peroxide half isopropyl alcohol mixture... then put a little in one of the caps and dump it in each of your ears.. leave it there for a sec then dump it out by turning your head over... peroxide kills germs... alcohol will evaporate the water.

There is a product sold in most US pharmacies and supermarkets called Auro-dri which will remove any excess water which is still in the ear.  If you believe it is truly an infection there is nothing over the counter which will heal it (you will probably need antibiotic ear drops provided by a doctor).  However there is a product called Similasan earache relief which will help with the pain.  Similisan products are homeopathic (not the traditional medications you and I are used to) and therefore I cannot explain the actual mechanism of the active ingredients, but I have heard from many people that it has helped them with earache pain.

Go to the doctor.  It could be an infection and with tubes that can cause deafness.  Hope you feel better soon.

this has worked for me and my kids for 15 years now EVERY TIME...\n\nYou have someone plug your ears while you guzzle water. Keep swallowing for about 5 good chugs. If you are alone, you can plug your own ears and drink thru a straw. \nTrust me, once you try this you will never need another cure.

I would try putting some rubbing alcohol in the ear, as long there is no pain or oozing from the ear.  It will help dry out the water if it's from showering or bathing.  It may be an infection.  Check for a fever or pain.  A doctor can look at the membrane of the ear for redness or swelling.  80% of ear infections resolve without antibiotics within 3 days of symptoms, so it may be not need to be treated.

You might be developing an infection.\n\nUse peroxide for three minutes in each ear then clean gently but not deeply with Q-tips. Then, use rubbing alcohol in each ear and tip to allow the excess to come out. The alcohol will dry up any liquid in the outer ear. If you have fluid in the inner ear, you will need to go to the doctors.\n\nIf what I have directed does not work, go to the doctors in a day or so if you don't want to be in pain.\n\nMy daughter had this problem for many many years and we always did this before seeking further help if needed.\n\nGood Luck

You don't state whether you have been prescribed anything by a doctor for your condition.\n\nIf you have been diagnosed properly, as I will assume you have, since you have the medical terminology of your condition, then you should have been prescribed antibiotics and an antihystamine by the doctor.\n\nYou need to dry up the fluids in your ear, and antihystamines will do that.  Also, there is an infection there that needs to be treated with antibiotics.\n\nI have had chronic ear infections for 20 years.  I am very careful about getting water in my ears, and I can avoid getting ear infections by staying on an OTC medication that helps dry up my sinus passages.\n\nI am recently recovered from acute bronchitis and sinusitis, and was lucky enough to avoid the expected ear infections.\n\nSee a doctor immediately.  Hearing loss can happen if prolonged conditions are not treated.

A few drops of rubbing alchol or a product called Swimmers Ear but if you have pain then you need to see a doctor in case you have an infection.

Put some peroxide on a Q-tip and put it in your ear and just kinda let it set there. That should do the trick and clean out any bacteria that may be in there.

DO NOT USE A Q-TIP!!!!  If you have something stuck in your ear the q-tip may push it down further.  Try rinsing your ears out with 1/2 hydrogen peroxide and 1/2 warm water, not hot.  Then immediately after, because it will bubble in your ears, get in the shower and let the water rinse out your ear canals.  If that doesn't help, there are ear drops at the pharmacy (over the counter) that are supposed to loosen clogged ear wax so you can rinse it out.  But this takes a few days.  Best thing to do is to see your doctor and have him/her look inside your ear canals.  If they are clogged, he/she can clean them out.  There could be another problem going on.  This is your hearing so its best not to mess around with it.

mix a bottle of 1part rubbing alchohol and 2 parts peroxide in a bottle and put two drops in your ears after swimming. The peroxide kills the germs and the alchohol dries out your ears.

It's possible your ear is clogged with ear wax.  The doctor can flush it out, or you can buy an ear bulb and flush it out yourself with warm water.  Don't use anything else, as the pressure could be too high.  You could damage your ear drum.  The best way to do it is to get in the shower and flush it and flush it with the ear bulb.  Sometimes it takes several times to unclog it.  Once you get it unclogged, then just every time you take a shower, let the water from the regular showerhead flush it out.  If you do that, you may never have a problem again.

You can buy two kinds of ear plug. One is a silicon that molds to your ear. My favorite. They also have some plastic ones. You can just shake the water out of your ears when you get out of the water. If it is still there you could put drops in. One brand is Swimmers Ear. You can also do it for free. One is with vinegar. The other is with rubbing alcohol, but this can dry out our ear. Go with a couple of drops of vinegar to break the surface tension of the water.
