What to do if i have problems with ear infection/wax build up?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ear: Good question. Unfortunately there is no OTC treatment for ear wax that works. You need to see an ENT to clean it out. Many people have their ears cleaned before they swim to make sure the water wont get trapped
