Earr clogged please help?!

Question

my ears are clogged from wax build up and water from the beach and it is driving me crazy. I have tried ear drops, making a "syringe" with the pump from soap.

Please is there anything else I can do at home? please don't say doctor that is my last resort.

Answer 1

That happens ALL the time with me.

I usually wait it out, and just like, move my ear lobe around.

Or try the Debrox system. Or drizzle a very small amount of oil, like vegetable oil into your ear. Make sure its hot, but not too hot.

Drizzle it in, like 1/4 of a teaspoon, not even. Then just leave it in, and it will dry up all the wax. And your ear will feel oily, but overnight it just dries up!!

Oh, and you can also try to use the Aqua Ear, the stuff that dries up water in you ear. Use a bunch of drops and shake your head around.

Hope this helps! :)

Answer 2

try Debrox first, leave it in over night, irrigate in am. If that doesn't help go to GNC or whole foods and get ear candles. If that doesn't work, go see the dr.

Answer 3

warm a little bit of olive oil - warm not hot!  put into your ear and let it rest there for five ten minutes the wax should soften and pop out.  repeat if needed.

Answer 4

I would try to avoid jamming fingers and cotton buds down there as very often that can make it worse. ^_^

Most pharmacies have over the counter ear wax removal kits that you can squirt in your ear before rinsing out after a moment. I'm not sure about specific brands but if you ask they should be able to help you.

And if you end up having to go to the doctor, usually they just wash out/irrigate your ears with a special solution. It shouldn't be too bad.

Answer 5

Here, there's a system you can get at walgreens, It's 8.99. I've used it before. If that don't work, then you gotta go to the doctor.
