Water in Ear After Bath? ENT Experts Share Safe Removal Tips

• Water often enters the ear during bathing, causing blockage or gurgling sounds.
• Avoid using cotton, matchsticks, or needles to remove water, as this can injure the eardrum and lead to infection or hearing problems.
• Dr. Himanshu Bayat suggests safe methods: tilting the head and hopping, using palm pressure, or a hairdryer on low heat.
• Tilt head with affected ear down, gently pull earlobe, and hop to use gravity for water removal.
• If pain, dizziness, bleeding, or reduced hearing occurs after trying tips, consult a doctor immediately.

Why It Matters: Safely remove water from your ear using expert-recommended methods to avoid injury and infection.
