First, what should I do if my ears get water?
1, one-legged jump method
The jumping diversion method inclines the head to the side of the inlet ear and makes the ear hole downward. Jump on the same side with one foot for several times, and at the same time, pull the ear by hand to straighten the ear canal, so that the water can flow out by the gravity of the water.
2, palm water absorption method
Tilt the inlet ear downward, press it tightly on the auricle with the palm of the same side, hold your breath, and then quickly release the palm, and the inlet water will be sucked out several times in a row.
3, cotton imbibition method
Rub it with sterilized absorbent cotton or soft absorbent paper and gently put it into the intake ear. When the twist touches water, the water will be sucked onto the twist.
4. Active 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.
5, external auditory canal cleaning method
Gently probe into the external auditory canal with a clean cotton swab, and suck out the water once it hits the water barrier.
Second, how to prevent water from entering the ear when swimming?
Swimming will inevitably lead to water in the ears. After a clean bath, the water left in the swimming pool in the ear will basically run out by itself. However, sometimes a small amount of sewage will stay in the ear canal, causing ear inflammation. In order to absorb residual moisture, sterilize and diminish inflammation, 3 ~ 6 drops of medical alcohol can be dropped into the ear canal after bathing, and then it can flow out naturally after a short pause.
1. Have a physical examination before swimming. If there is cerumen in the external auditory canal, it should be taken out, otherwise it will easily cause pain and inflammation after swelling. People with otitis media, such as tympanic membrane perforation, will aggravate otitis media if dirty water enters the middle ear. Therefore, patients with otitis media can only swim with the consent of the doctor.
2. When swimming, plug the external auditory canal with absorbent cotton dipped in vaseline oil, which can play a protective role.
3. Drain the accumulated water in the external auditory canal in time after swimming. When draining, the head leans to the side where the accumulated water is accumulated, and the head can be drained by gently patting it with the palm of the same side. If the ear is itchy, you can gently wipe the external auditory canal with 75% alcohol cotton, and it is forbidden to dig by hand. If you feel earache, you should go to the hospital in time.
4, diving should pay attention to posture and methods, do not make the ear directly hit by water, so as not to hurt the eardrum.
In case the water still enters, turn your head to the side where the water enters. When water enters your left ear, you will jump with your right foot and one leg, and vice versa. Just cover the suction with your hand at the same time.
