A member asked:
There is excessive wax formation in my ear, every alternate day i have to clean the liquid wax, is this normal or should i consult an ent ?

See ENT: When it comes to the ears and earwax the single most important thing is to leave your ears alone. The ears make wax to protect the ear canal skin and when you try to clean it you make your ear canal skin angry and it makes more wax. See an ENT to make sure your skin is okay and doesn't require medication and then stop trying to clean them.
