Ear Wax Removal

Squirt! Squirt!

EAR WAX REMOVAL is simple and there's several easy ways to do it:

Ear Wax Removal techniques:

  • Drop a couple drops of lukewarm baby oil into the ear twice a day to soften it up.
  • Irrigate the ear canal with a rubber ear syringe (over-the-counter from most pharmacies) and lukewarm water over a sink (follow the instructions that come with the syringe).
  • Try a peroxide based ear cleaner from your pharmacist e.g. Murine or Debrox.

Never use paper clips, tweezers, cotton swabs, or a water pick as you can rip your thin ear drum at the end of the canal. Also don't try the above if you're known to have a burst eardrum. If you can't get any relief then head down to your friendly family doctor who can wash out the wax for you under direct vision.
