Get rid of earwax safely and not painfully?!


Question: Get rid of earwax safely and not painfully?
I have always had sensitive ears and when I was little I would get ear infections often, and when I would go to the doctors to clean my ears,they would do it painfully with a tool and they would go down deep and it hurts so bad. What is the safest way and not painful way to get earwax out of your ear? I'm so desperate!!

Answers:

This is a two step process. First you need to use some "sweet oil" which is basically just some really pure virgin "olive oil". Put the oil in your ear and let it sit in your ear for about half an hour, then plug in your blow dryer and blow hot air directly in your ear. The heat melts the wax and the oil lets it slide out. Once you get it out then you simply wash your ears with warm to hot water.



You can buy something called Earol which is a clear oil that you spray into your ear and then you lie on your side to let it drain into your ear canal, and it dissolves the wax. It takes about 2 weeks to work (using it once a day) and if the ear wax is compacted it might not work as well so it's best to get your ears syringed, it doesn't hurt it just feels a bit uncomfortable.



well idk about americans but koreans have this tiny earwax tool that people use to remove earwax from each other's ears. it looks like a really thin, tiny little spoon. they often sell them with nailcare kits in korea, but i'm sure you could try to find them in an asian or korean market in your area.



EENT - Eye Ear Nose Throat Doctor. That's what they are for.



Use Q-tips, but be careful. Hope I helped!
