Hello....... If your ear feels moist or blocked after swimming..... etc. tilt your head sideways with thatear up, pull the ear upwards and backward to put in eardrops to dry out the ear. Wiggle your ear to get the drops to go all the way down in the ear canal, and then turn your head to let them drain out.No ear drops. Pain subsides eventually.
