Ear health

If you can't see a doctor, go see a pharmacist for advice. I'm sure they can recommend ear wax removal kit or something for you.

Olive oil sprayed into the ears, and it will help soften ear wax.

My doc usually cleans out the wax during my annual physical. I have one of the bulbs shown above and use it about once a month or so. My doc says I seem to produce an excessive amount of wax compared to other people and if not taken care of it can cause infections etc.

I suffered for six months or more with what sounds like the same problem. What finally worked, along with the cleaning methods others here suggested, was 3 drops of Ciprodex in the ear for a week and Astepro 0.15% nasal spray for three weeks. These are expensive perscriptions but my Dr. had samples. The diagnosis was swimmers ear. After two regular Drs. this is what the E.N.T. Specialist gave me ...and it worked. Best of luck.

but I didn't saw that on the counter. My ears kind of buzzing/ a little bit pain inside, do you think that olive oil spray is safe?

Also, can I make that spray by myself?

Pain anywhere is never a good sign. Sounds like some infection there. You need to get prompt medical attention now.

WRT Earol, it is used for children's ears as well, and yes you can self spray. Children have narrow ear canals making them prone to a build-up of ear wax. This spary is to soften the dried stuff, and help it detach from the canal wall and hairs.

Go to a regular Dr. or your local free clinic. I mentioned earlier what worked for my long term ear problem. If you need a E.N.T. (ear nose and throat) specialist the Dr. will have to refer you to one. Take care of yourself. With free clinics and free samples or reduced prices and fees which are available for the asking, there is no need to continue suffering something that could cause a larger problem. Again, take care.

^ agreed with azare II. Any regular doctor or general practitioner will be able to examine your ear and ask you about your symptoms. If it needs further treatment he can always refer you. Good luck!
