Water is trapped in my ear after swimming. no pain but it's bothering me. i tried alcohol drop but not working. do you have any recommendation?

Dry it out: Use a wick like cotton or a q-tip but be careful as this could be dangerous if you were too aggressive. Also you could try a hair dryer on low setting. Lastly jumping up and down with the bad ear down can sometimes work.
