Ask druggist : There are drops you can put in your ear with your ear pointing up at the ceiling. Ask druggist. Lie down with that ear up and time it with a watch according to directions. It may take several tries to clear the wax. Even if your doctor has to lift the wax out with an instrument, it will be easier if you treat it at home first.
