How do i get rid of fluid in middle ear without surgery and fast.

What type of fluid.: If the fluid is serous (clear), perhaps you have a serous otitis media, which may be caused by allergy; if this is the case, an antihistamine may help. If the fluid is pus (opaque), an antibiotic should clear it up and usually drainage is not required. if it is blood, it may be from trauma; if bloody, this may need further work-up by your physician. Get it checked out; prob won't need surgery.

Can't: most of the time it will be reabsorbed by the body on it's own, but can take weeks or even months sometimes. Sorry. Dr R
