Build up ear wax, put some olive oil, nothing came out and my ear is bumged up. cant have it syringed coz perforated eardrum in the past, what to do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See ENT: Given your history, it would be easiest and safest to see an ear, nose and throat doctor (otolaryngologist) to remove the wax. You'll feel so much better!
