Dr. Mazen Hammoud Otolaryngology (ENT)
Usually we feel water stuck in the ears after swimming or bathing due to the presence of compacted cerumen in the external ear canal which bulges when in contact with water that adheres to it .If that is the case, and the quantity of stuck cerumen is little, then you can try one of the drops in the market that is used to dissolve the cerumen(waxol or Acerumen…)5 drops 3 times daily in the affected ear for one week and waiting each time at least 15 minutes before turning our head to the other side so the drops with some dissolved cerumen can then go out .Other wise if the quantity of stuck cerumen is big, you may even feel worse after using the drops and your ears can become completely blocked causing you very bad sensation .
On the other hand last year there were in the market one kind of drops(ZEROEAU) that helps to evaporates the stuck water in the ears, but I think they are not found anymore in Lebanon .
In all cases, I truly recommend you to go for a check up at your ENT doctor .
