Water in my left ear

2018-05-11 23:19:45
So, my left ear has trumping sound from swimming. I wasn't there for a long time but it's sounds like a drum when I'm chewing or walking etc. I tried to put my head over the left side and the towel under, but it's not helping and the water won't come out.. I know there some water in it or whatever but what should I do to get it out?

You may be having impacted wax inside your ear canal. It may have swollen up after entry of water during swimming. If present it needs to be removed by a specialist under vision either by suctioning or syringing
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
