Not Sure What It Is

could be an infection, my daughter complained for a day or so about hearing a "whoshing" sound in her ear, and so i took her in the dr and (she's 7) a PEA sized glob of dirt and wax fell out of hear ear, they actually had to take tweezer's and pull it out...and she had a BAD ear infection

Try swimmer's ear drops or do ear candling.

You have fluid in your ear. That has happened to me a lot. Either drainage from sinuses or water even from taking a shower. Warm up some cooking oil and put it in there then put a cotton ball in your ear. That should help. If it does not it could have turned into an ear infection. The oil will make the fluid rise to the top and come out on the cotton.

Good luck and God Bless.

it sounds like water is stuck down there... you can try putting a drop or two of olive oil or alchohol in your ear.. or see the dr. the oil or alchohol will make the water come to the surface... and then drain out.. good luck

You can, very very carefully and gently, get some warm water and a bulb syringe (my hubby used the blue bulb that you get with babies since we didnt have anything else) and gently squirt it into your ear, and let it drain out.

This is after 2 or 3 nights of putting drops of a ear-wax removal solution in my husband's ear. He then did the ear rinse thing and got out a BIG GLOB of ear wax (OMG, could anything be so big and yukky in an ear!?! LOL)

I dont know that it felt like fluid moving though. I know that alcohol is very strong and dries your skin out which can cause irritation so it's not a good repeated treatment, so I'd recommend only a few times. I have, when my ear hurts as if an infection may be coming on or I feel like I have too much water from swimming or whatever in it, taken an q-tip and drenched it in either rubbing alcohol or hydrogen peroxide and then let it get into my ear and usually I then feel ok after a couple times. That evaporates quicker than water and battles any infection-causing germs you might have there.

If it doesn't improve/go away in a day or two, please stop by one of those neighborhood clinics (we have one in our grocery store now - are there any in your area?) and have them see. In fact, that's how we knew that my husband had a lot of wax in one of his ears, we had gone to the clinic to see if we had a sinus infection or just mega allergies. (Clinic doc told him to go to the regular doc for ear wax extraction. We did it ourselves as described above.)

You can use some alcohol. Just a couple of drops and then put your head upright. If it is water then it will evaporate and the alcohol will come right out. I have to do this after I go swimming. It really does work!

Good Luck!

fluid in your ear will feel like fluid

water in your inner ear. You may also have vertigo due to it. Not sure how water gets in the inner ear. I get vertigo once a year and it lasts a little longer than a week.

Do you get dizzy when you lift your head back up again?

Get one of those bulb ear syringes. Clean your bathroom sink and fill it with warm water. Fill the bulb, stick it in your ear and squeeze, do it over and over. Chunks of wax will start flowing out and landing in the sink so you can see exactly what kind of critter you had in there. I have to do this to my husband a couple of times a year. He gets a dry plug of wax that jiggles around deep inside and drives him crazy..... I also do it when he starts not HEARING me... lol.
It will take a while maybe so dont get discouraged, just give yourself about 15 minutes of the irrigation and it should do the trick. Other than that, go to the doc and see what they say, they also clean ears there, but the squirter they use is sort of strong and not so comfortable as doing it at home.
