I have earwax stuck in my left ear and have trouble hearing from it. how can i fix this and flush out my ear?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ear wax: You can put a few drops of baby oil in the ear to soften the wax, then gently flush the ear with lukewarm water using a bulb syringe. If the wax does not come out, see a doctor to have the ear checked
