What can i do for my blocked ear. my wax build up is a bit much. i need a home remedy. do you have one ?

Peroxide then flush: Generally it helps to use hydrogen peroxide to soften the wax and use a bulb syringe or waterpik to then flush it out. See http://www.Myhomeremedies.Com/topic.Cgi?Topicid=2153 for details. If the wax build-up is too much it may be beyond your ability to deal with at home and might require a doctor's visit to clear it out.
