Popping my ears!

I went swimming yesterday and now my right ear is clogged up and I can't ear anything out of it. There's no pain or anything, its just muffled. I've tried yawning, chewing on stuff, holding my nostrils closed and blowing, cleaning my ears of ear wax, nothing seems to work. I'm taking a plane ride tomorrow, should I just wait then for the pressure to force my ears to pop? I'd like to fix it before the plane ride to prevent any unnatural damage. Thanks guys.

Try tilting your head to the right so that water falls out. (it sometimes works for me)

Try putting more water in the ear. Sometimes it worked for me when there's annoying water in my ear.
So yeah, let the shower or something put more water in

I took a shower, it seemed to have helped a lot. My ear isnt so clogged now but not exactly perfect like my left ear. Sokay, much better than before. Thank you all!

Use the palm of your hand to simulate a plunger on your ear. It always works for me when I have water in my ear.

When you sleep, sleep on the right side of your head and the water will eventually trickle out all at once. Takes about 15-30 minutes when I need to do it.

you have water in your eardrum, i've had it before, you have to go to the doctors and get some ear drops DO NOT put liquid in your ear DO NOT put a cotton bud (cotton swab) in you ear as it will make it worse, go to your doctor before it gets worse, i know it can become uncomfortable.

If you were feeling pain. i would call it swimmers ear *i get it all the time since i do swim team*

But when you get outta the water. shake your head 10 time on each side to get water out :)

I think putting rubbing alcohol on a q-tip, then putting it in your ear makes the water evaporate.

Call it stupid if you wish, but spinning around in circles at a fast enough speed, spinning left for the right ear and spinning right for the left ear, always gets the water out for me.
