@the.ent.guy: Before you reach for the Q-tip… please don’t. 😅 If you have water stuck in your ear, there are a few safer things you can try first, and none of them involve sticking a Q-tip, key, finger or anything else into your ear canal. Try these steps in order, and if the clogged feeling, pain, drainage or hearing changes don’t go away, it’s time to get your ear checked. Save this for your next pool or beach day and follow for more ENT tips!
