Hi, i was wondering, how do you soften cartilage in an ear? and what tools are needed to do so?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ans: Do you mean the ear wax? The wax can be softened with over the counter debrox. This is one way. You put the drops into the ear. Then you can flush merely by using shower water. This works very well and does clear the plugged ear nicely
