For those keeping score I've had water in my ears for over 48 hours now. 😓

Well, what have you tried to get the water out?

Tried the ear drops several more times.Flushing with water, flushing with rubbing alcohol. Popping my ears in myriad ways. Laying for long periods with my head on it's side. Shaking my head. Creating a seal and pumping my ear with the palm of my hand. Using ear plugs to produce a similar result.

Well, how about laying your head to the side and pulling the ear lobe? Stop putting things in it also. Sometimes it can take about 30 minutes of laying with the head to the side so the ear is down to make the water move.

I have stopped putting more liquids in about 24 hours ago. Earlobe thing doesn't seem to do much. I sleep on my side so I've spent hours with my head to one side then the other to no avail. I'm seeing a doctor.

Sounds like a god idea. Can you hear and feel the water rolling around in there?

Occasionally I can hear a little movement. Particularly if I pressurize the ear.

I am guessing that if you had ear wax removing drops it is because you have an excessive amount of ear wax. It could be that a chuck of ear wax dislodged only partially and the water is trapped behind it. I could be dead wrong though.

Could be. I think I've had clogged Eustachian tubes for a long time so my inner ear has trouble draining/equalizing. I've been a regular user of earplugs for showering and swimming as the last time I had water ingress the water was trapped for weeks.

Ear plugs will mess with your ear wax. Do you chew gum? It really does help.

Not often. I can sit here and make my ears pop a little all day long but the water doesn't drain. So frustrating!
