SYMPTOMS OF EAR WAX:
Signs and symptoms of earwax blockage may include:

- Earache
- Feeling of fullness in the ear
- Ringing or noises in the ear (tinnitus)
- Hearing loss
- Dizziness
- Cough
- Itchiness in the ear
- Odour or discharge in the ear
- Pain or infection in the ear

HOW TO REMOVE EAR WAX:
You can pick a small bottle of olive oil ear drops from your pharmacy which will come with a dropper. The usual dose is 2-3 drops in your effected ear twice a day but please follow the instructions that come with it so you administer the drops properly for maximum effect. Now once you administer the drops gently press your tragus a couple of times and this will help olive oil go further into the ear and spread evenly.

The key to getting results when using olive oil is to use it everyday while you have an earwax build up so put a reminder on your phone so you don’t forget. Use it for about 2 weeks and during this period you should see lumps of earwax fall out of your ear especially at night time when your lying down. You may wake up and see wax on your pillow case or just around your ear, this is normal and shows that it's working.

There are also other drops you can get from your pharmacy so always speak to your pharmacist first so they can check your symptoms properly and advise the best course of treatment for you.

Please do not use your fingers or any objects like cotton buds to remove earwax. This will push it in and make it worse.

WHEN TO SPEAK TO YOUR DOCTOR:
• If your ear hasn't cleared after 5 days
• Your ear is badly blocked and you can't hear anything (you can get an infection if it isn't cleared)

Thank you. I do have problems with my right ear, two or three times a year. Oils don't help. Last time I had to have a long awaited appointment at ENT for it to be scrapped out.

Hi Dr Abraham! What is the best way to clean ears if not using a cotton swab? Once the olive oil has worked what is the best way to clean ears

[kittybala]

Awesome tips and great video abraham. Pharmacist are always nice and helpful. I always visit my local pharmacist every month to collect my sterioid inhaler and buy medicine there

[danielledewitt]

Cotton swabs never go in my ears, if I must I get a piece of tissue and wipe what is just before the entrance of my ears rather than putting it down my ears for exactly this reason. Rare that I have to do that though since I get my ears cleaned out by suction every 6 months.

[issaissa]

Sorry dear, , what about coconut oil, , isit good for ear wax removal plz help!

[ellanorevannin]

What about for those with tiny ear canals?

[jonathansmith]

You're a bit of a legend AP! Thanks😉

[hibafatima]

Hello
I just wanted to ask that is almond oil good for dark circles?

[joanmuldrew]

Does this work for people with a very narrow ear canal and whats the name of the drops you buy in the chemist? Its £60 or more to get your ear cleans out, just wondering if I can do it myself for my husband without damaging his ear, how do we get the wax out then? Does it just fall out itself as you said without touching it? Thanks

[soaringbird]

Amazing video Abraham!
Sending you awesome vibes with the speed of light!

[upasanagiri]

Nice videos ❤
Hello Abraham, could you please tell that does the razor marks vanish or not? Or what should be the procedure of thier removal?

[MissCheeseE]

I use cotton swaps, not for ear cleaning, but for paining random stuff.
