Can i clean the wax out of my ears using otic solution?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: The wax cleaning solutions are made to clean out ears, as long as you don't have ear tubes in your ear drums. You can also use simple half-strength peroxide (mix hydrogen peroxide half and half with water) to clean out the wax as well.
