hi there,
i get this proberly about twice a month!. The best thing to do is use a earbud and clean your ear out then use wax it honestly works after about 10 minutes of using the wax!.

I hop this helpsWww@Answer-Health@Com

Hi, don't use a cotton bud or anything like that, it just pushes wax in further!. And if you are going to use warm olive oil, please be careful not to heat it too much (I know a guy who ended up with a perforated eardrum and being deaf in one ear by putting hot olive oil in his ear)!. If you do this, just use a teaspoon of olive oil and warm it over a candle (not in a pan)!. Make sure the temperature is ok by testing it with your finger!.

Otherwise, you can get eardrops from the chemists which will loosen up wax!. If it doesn't go away, you could see your doctor who might suggest you get your ears syringed!.

If it's not wax though, and just that your ear has kind of blocked out!.!.!. close your eyes, close your mouth and pinch your nose shut and try to breathe out through your nose!. Your ears should pop!. Don't do it too hard though or it won't help!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Most cases of ear wax blockage can be treated at home!. Mineral oil, baby oil, glycerin, or commercial drops can be used to soften wax in the ear!. Detergent drops such as hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide may aid in the removal of wax!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I should seek medical advice first, but they will probably try to either syringe it out, or recommend that you put two drops of warm olive oil in for a week, to loosen the wax, then come back to have it removed! My hubby had to have that done recently, as he had the same problem! he can hear perfectly well again now!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

i get that pretty much every morning i think its from laying on that ear and it getting sweaty or something!.use the ear candles they work fine my boyfriend uses them!.i use q-tips but thats not to good!.you can also use peroxide but not alot and not often at all cuz its not to good for your ear but it works!.or mineral oil my nurse told me that!.or ear wax flushWww@Answer-Health@Com

just leave it it will clear on it's own, but if it doesn't after a day or so go to the doctors

by the way as someone else suggeted about using cotton buds DON'T because this can push the wax further down and cause an ear infection!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

A vinegar-water-peroxide solution (1:1:2) can be warmed to body temperature and applied to the ear canal to soften wax
olive oil
mineral oil etc!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

well i've never tried this but my parents once told that you need 2 drink water and have in your mouth for a few sec!. then spit it out into a cup then pour it in to your earWww@Answer-Health@Com

In reality, there is nothing wrong with trying a natural solution!. But if all else fails, there's always Debrox!. You can buy that at any drug store!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

i get it all the time expecily when been sweating in the night,

heat-up sum olive oil

let it drip in your ear it releases the wax


hope u get better soonWww@Answer-Health@Com
