My ears are flooded, can I do it myself?
No, because water has a certain tension, it forms a barrier after entering the narrow external auditory canal, which divides the external auditory canal into two sections, and because of the gravity of water, there is secondary pressure between the water barrier and the eardrum, which maintains the pressure balance on both sides of the water barrier, making it difficult for water to flow out automatically. Sometimes there is a large cerumen obstruction in the external auditory canal, so it is easier for water to wrap around cerumen after entering the ear canal, and it is not easy to flow out. After water enters the ear, there will be deafness, hearing loss and dizziness.

After the water enters the ear, it should be discharged in time. The most common methods are:

1, one-legged jumping method: the affected ear is downward, and the water flows downward from the external auditory canal by the gravity of water. ?

2, external auditory canal method: you can press the tragus continuously with your palm or pull the ear gallery with your fingers; Or repeatedly opening your mouth and moving the temporomandibular joint can make the skin of the external auditory canal move up and down, left and right, or change the stability and pressure of the water barrier, so that water can flow out of the external auditory canal.

3, external auditory canal cleaning method: gently probe into the external auditory canal with a clean fine cotton swab, once you touch the water barrier, you can suck out the water. Because the swimming pool or river water is unclean, the skin and tympanic membrane of external auditory canal are infected after sewage enters the ear, or improper treatment of water after entering the ear can often cause the following ear diseases, such as unclean ear digging; Otitis externa, furuncle of external auditory canal, cerumen obstruction, otitis media, suppurative otitis media. If the above symptoms appear after entering the water, you should temporarily stop swimming and go to the hospital for examination and symptomatic treatment.
