So there you have it people. When in doubt, go to a doctor!
Oh and thanks again for all the replies. At least now I'll know what to do now when I actually have liquid stuck in my ear.

From someone with chronic ear problems, I always recommend going to the doctor. I at one time was considering trying home remedies to get rid of what I thought was just water in my ear. It turns out I have a pin sized hole in my eardrum which has been there since I was a very young child.
This causes liquid to get stuck in the middle and inner ear. So if id tried any of these remedies like Vinager I would have been poring the stuff directly into my inner ear. I don't want to think about what would have happened then.
For the record. Most people say Ear Candleing is a crock. The supposed ear wax that comes out is actually residue from the candle.
