Water in my ear?!
Question: I was taking a shower, and when i was drying myself off and cleaning my ears, I had some water in my ear, I tried bending over, clapping my other ear while bending over, and shaking my head to get the water out, but it won't. I even tried cleaning it a little bit more. But, nothing worked, is it bad, and what should I do?

I wouldn't worry about it too much. Yes it is possible to get swimmers ear from that, but just from a little water in the shower it isn't likely. If you just lay down for a bit on the side that has the water in it, eventually it will drain. It will just be a little uncomfortable for a short while.
I hate when this happens! Keep trying to get the water out otherwise you could get whats called swimmer's ear. It's just a minor infection but your ears get sore .
