How to Pop Your Ear to Get Water Out

    • 1). Put your palm over you ear and push down to make a vacuum. Then remove your palm, creating a gentle suction.

    • 2). Pour a small amount of rubbing alcohol into the cap of the bottle. Tilt the affected ear to the ceiling, and place one or two drops into the ear canal. This will help dry the water in the ear. You can also use an eyedropper to place the drops. Lift your head back to the natural position, holding a tissue by the ear to catch any drops.
