my ears itch on the inside?!


Question: My ears itch on the inside?
they have been itching a lot. i think its because of the wax. i took out a big chunk of it but the rest won't come out. i can't really see a doctor to wash my ears because my mom never has time to drive me there nor i can't really get much medicine. is there any way i could make the itching go away on my own?

Answers:

Take a steamy shower to loosen the earwax, then use a q-tip to clean out all the wax. Ear drops help as well, which can be found at a Walgreens near you. Also, you might have a rash or the skin could be irritated; if this is the case, then you should refrain from itching and that could help. If it becomes too big of a problem to where you can't stand it anymore, or other side effects occur, then you should tell your mom that it is a serious matter and she should agree to take you. If not, then you can always use other methods of transportation like walking, biking, taking the city bus, train, or ask a close friend, relative, or neighbor to take you. You can also go to the school nurse if you are still in a grade level that offers one.
