my ear!

Hey. Basically I went to the hairdresser the other day and I think they got some water in my ear. when i got out, i could feel some water inside in the inner ear (as if i had been swiming).

I then had a shower and went to a party with banging music.

ever since (3days) i can still feel something. it doesnt hurt and i can hear fine, but like when i yawn i can fell something wrong. as if my ear drum were a piece of paper and was creased up. i duno. maybe there is some water or something still stuck there.

does anybody know what im talking about/what i can do. i will see the gp l8r maybe.

thnx

I have had thta before, mine went within about 3 and a bit days, i just left mine. It probably is a bit of water, leave it for a bit and if it doesnt go maybe go to the doctors. It will probably clear up though :smile:
put a few drops of baby oil in your ear

^^ Yeah olive oil is good as well, i think maybe you need your ears syringed, build up of earwax can occur because of listening to loud music etc etc, so when you get water in your ear it soaks through and it isnt very nice.

If you need your ears syringed then i recommend oil in the affected ears for a couple of days to soften it up (makes easier for nurse and more comfortable for you) then after syringing put oil in your ears every 3 days or so.
